Will mushrooms take over our cities? | Adam Sayner and Eric Jong | TEDxTotnes

Eric and Adam tell how they are exploiting coffee waste to establish inner city mushroom farms.
Adam Sayner started his fascination with mushrooms whilst studying ecology at the University of Sussex. After graduating with a first class degree he started to grow mushrooms in the Totnes area for a living. Form this work sprang GroCycle CIC which pioneers growing mushrooms on coffee waste.
After finishing a Masters in Business and Finance in his native country the Netherlands Eric pursued a corporate career with two major energy companies. After working in London for nearly 7 years both him and his wife made a life changing decision, sold up and went travelling. Their path eventually led to Schumacher College and this is where Adam and Eric teamed up to run GroCycle.
