Synopsis

Live a sustainable nature-based life – be healthier, wealthier, and wiser by foraging the right way.

Whoever and wherever you are, you are a descendant of foragers.

And there are plenty of reasons for wanting to keep this age-old practice alive today.

The costs of plant-based foods have been steadily increasing throughout the years and will only continue to do so.

At the same time, the negative impact of processed foods have been well documented, not to mention their rising costs as well.

The best way to respond to these challenges is to become self-sufficient.

Foraging is a significant part of self-sufficient living.

And if you pursue it, you won’t be alone.

Finding wild edibles has now become a popular activity among even city dwellers.

But to make it a rewarding pursuit, you need to equip yourself with the right skills.

That’s where a thoroughly researched, well-written guide like this becomes invaluable. It’s exactly what you need if you’ve been hesitant to forage due to lack of trustworthy or comprehensive information.

In Foraging the Land, you will discover:

• The undeniable advantages of foraging for you, the community, and the environment
• 100+ wild edibles you could get for free, and helpful information on each
• How to confidently distinguish edible plants from harmful ones

You can gather wild edible plants while you’re hiking, walking, or camping.
