MYCO Properties and Communities

MYCO is a sustainable community development organization, funded through property investments. The MycoCommunity Business Framework™ is the bedrock of the organization. It creates a more connected and nourishing community by extending local business and NGO benefits to more members. We take inspiration from mycorrhizal fungi's ability to sustain harmonic communities through interconnected systems, led by community-based communication. The outcome is a place where people support one another, with individual values and abilities at the forefront. MYCO coaches other businesses and companies that benefit from gentrification to implement the MycoCommunity Business Framework™ into their CSR strategy. This increases brand identity and awareness while extending the framework’s benefits to other communities and locations. Bottom-up initiatives have been proven to lead to pro-environmental intentions and social identity. MYCO aims to support bottom-up social development and the four-pillar model of sustainability, as seen by Hawkes (2001), including: - cultural vitality - environmental responsibility - economic health - social equity Resilient communities, nurtured by nature as mentor for a new way of living.
