Benefits of managing a Truffle crop: Truffleculture

• A steady truffle crop develops a luxury industry. The product will remain valuable as it deteriorates fast. It gives the opportunity to be in a niche market.
  
  
• Truffleculture is eco friendly. It can raise the quality of the environment and conservation. It adapts to multiple use of land, for investors, farmers as well as communities. Objectives need to be set, then plans made according to the restrictions.
  
  
• There is no need to own land to get involved in truffleculture. Specialist pickers will help those with land, specialist chefs put it on the menu! Most records of truffles are in gardens.
  
  
• There are risks. The eco system is delicate, and nature is a fierce competitor. A piece of land cannot be seen in isolation and requires co-operation. Managing these risks is important (see products and services page).
  
  
• There are laws and many codes to abide to according to the land, such as access to site, trees, fungi etc. in fact regarding the whole environment and what lives in it.
  
  
  A budget will be required to access the necessary expertise whether through consultancy, training, site maintenance or planting.
  
  The worst risks to such a new venture are that of incomplete and bad knowledge, or here in the UK greedy unprofessional pickers. Consumers and buyers should demand a quality truffle that abides to the law, and know what to do with it down the supply chain.
