The key thing about this briefing is that it’s not a “guide” to foraging and wild food – there’s plenty of them out there already, and we see no need to endlessly replicate this information. Instead we outline a framework for how you might learn more about wild food, develop your skills for food foraging, and most importantly finding ways to integrate your use of wild food within a more sustainable approach to planning your own ‘food system’. There are plenty of good books out there on wild food […] What we do in this guide is try and help you get your head around the process of collecting wild foods.
Motivations and practical limitations.
