THE
MYCELIUM PROJECT
FOOD HARVESTING
Tottenham Hale serves as a growing city
laden with large populations of diverse local
and foreign groups. Haringey Council has
devoted Strategic Policies to implement more
jobs, changing the policies of local industries
and providing more housing to the people of
Tottenham. The implications pressed on the
issues of local rights for better jobs and green
infrastructure. The Mycelium Project holds the
key towards an intervention for the commons to
enact for the right of space, asset and resources
by introducing open source cleaner production,
3D printing and mycelium products.
