Eat Weeds

Three generations ago, it was common practice to collect wild food; knowledge of what, where and when to forage was a necessary part of life. But with the advent of supermarket culture, monocultural systems of food production and escalating urbanisation, the knowledge associated with foraging has mostly been lost. However, there is wild food and medicine available to those who know what to look for. In the face of global challenges such as climate change, food security and pandemic, we seek to empower ourselves with the information and skills that bring self-reliance and equip us to care for our families and communities. This book shows how you can engage with wild food sources, reconnect with the stories of our ancestors, and care for local ecologies while transforming your neighbourhood into an edible adventure.
