Portland based journalist, blogger, and urban forager Rebecca Lerner is featured in Foraging is Green Eating at its Purest, an article by Cara Smusiak of NaturallySavvy.com, at LATimes.com.
When people think of eco-friendly foods, they often think of organic foods and family farms. But foraging for wild foods is perhaps the purest way to eat green.
Foraging is harvesting indigenous, wild plants and fungi, as well as fishing and hunting–it’s all about eating what the land provides.
Last May Lerner lived off foraged foods for a week and recorded her adventure on CultureChange.org. She explains:
foraging isn’t just about finding sustenance during emergencies. “At its core, wild food offers you a deeper way to explore your relationship to the land outside your door, to recognize the gifts Gaia (the Greek goddess of the Earth) has left for you.”
