"Eat Weeds" is a book about how you can engage with wild food sources, care for local ecologies and transform your neighbourhood into an edible adventure. It’s a guide to finding, identifying, and eating wild plants. Three generations ago, it was common practice to collect wild food; knowledge of what, where and when to forage was a necessary part of daily life. With the advent of supermarket culture, monocultural systems of food production and escalating urbanisation, the knowledge associated with foraging has mostly been lost. Today, we want this knowledge back. 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.
