The Wilderness Cure: What Happens When We Eat the Wild with Mo Wilde
Q: What were you doing during your year of eating wild foods, and why did you decide to undertake it?
I wanted to test if I could actually live on wild food with community support, especially during times of food scarcity and global disruptions; it began as a personal challenge to enact my teaching and explore resilience, and it evolved into ongoing work with the Wild Biome Project.
The Wilderness Cure: What Happens When We Eat the Wild with Mo Wilde
Q: What is a wild plant?
A wild plant, as I see it, is a plant that is untended by humans; not all plants fit that definition because many are shaped by human intervention and cultivation.
