Guest guest Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 For anyone interested in wild food, there has been an interesting program on radio here (UK) about foraging and living off wild food and with a focus on nutrition. Fergus Drennan is a forager and he recently spent a month just feeding himself this way, that is what the program is about. He plans to do live this way for a year and then write a book. from his website; " Wild plants are nutritionally rich - uniquely so. Unlike cultivated vegetables, salad leaves and herbs for which - even if grown organically, many of the essential nutrients - in the form of manure or chemical fertilizer - have to be transported to the artificially set aside growing site, a wild plant germinates and flourishes where it is because the perfect balance of water, sunshine and nutrients come together in that unique location. " http://www.wildmanwildfood.com/ outside the UK, you may still be able to listen on-line to this program, 30 mins in length at http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/science/sharedearth.shtml at the top of the page is a link [listen to the latest edition] after friday it will be available in the archive list just below the top, right hand column. The date to use is 19 Oct. -- the kneeling fool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
