Truffles & the Carbon Underground: A Soil-First Solution to Climate and Agriculture

​Beneath the soil, truffles are quietly reshaping our understanding of regenerative agriculture. In this introductory talk, we’ll dive into the fascinating world of truffles—not just as a gourmet delicacy, but as a keystone species in the soil carbon cycle. Discover how truffles form symbiotic relationships with trees, enrich degraded farmland, and create stable carbon sinks underground. We’ll explore cutting-edge research on truffle cultivation and how these elusive fungi could help restore ecosystems and build climate-resilient food systems. Whether you're a soil nerd or just truffle-curious, this talk is your invitation to dig deeper.
