Fungi are increasingly at the centre of technological innovation in medicine, water filtration, agriculture, reforestation, food science and soil bioremediation. Paul Stamets is the entrepreneur-scientist behind many such innovations. He received the “Bioneers Award” from the Collective Heritage Institute, and is a regular speaker at the Bioneers conferences in the USA, as well as the TED conference. You can get a taster of Paul’s genius on his youtube channel and the TED conference website. See: www.youtube.com/paulstamets

Paul is about to revolutionize the packaging industry. He re-invented the cardboard box and created an effective distribution system that can help to connect people back to nature and involve them in a planet-wide reforestation effort.
