Edible Mushrooms: A Path to India’s Self-Sufficiency by 2047

This review investigates the role of edible mushrooms in promoting India's self-sufficiency and long-term growth by 2047. Mushrooms are a high in nutrients and environmentally friendly food source that contributes to food security, rural development, and ecological balance. Innovations in growing techniques have increased production and economic viability, making mushroom farming a viable agricultural industry. However, challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, market limitations, and a lack of awareness hinder its full potential. This study underscores the need of policy-driven assistance, such as financial incentives, research improvements, and market growth plans, for integrating mushrooms into conventional agriculture. By addressing these challenges and promoting innovation and entrepreneurship, the mushroom industry can strengthen economic sustainability and contribute to global environmental efforts.
