In terms of nutrition, mushrooms are a rich source of protein and essential vitamins, improving the refugees’ diets. By learning mushroom farming, refugees gain skills that contribute to self-reliance, reducing dependency on aid. Additionally, cultivating mushrooms helps improve health by providing access to fresh, nutritious food, contributing to better overall well-being in the refugee community
