Wild Food and Foraging
Sourcing food from the wild and connecting with our past
Foraging, hunting and fishing are a vital part of who we are as a species – and although these can easily be dismissed as slightly trendy activities there are plenty of folk out there who are integrating wild edibles into their daily diets.
The articles below are a mixture of tutorials, opinion pieces and information guides to the edible wild species of the British Isles, written and compiled by Richard and Amy Green
