Wild Edibles: Enhancing Food Security
Slide-show presentation by Annie McCleary and George Lisi
Saturday, February 13, after lunch workshop
NOFA Winter Conference (Northeast Organic Farmers Association) at University of Vermont, Burlington
These changing times require that, once again, we find our food locally - wild food as well as cultivated. We will cover identifying, sustainably harvesting, and properly preparing wild edibles, and a few key medicinals as well. We will show slides of various habitats and the plants that grow there, and discuss naturalizing wild edibles in garden-edges and dooryards, and putting up wild edibles for winter use. As our lives become more and more relocalized due to climatic disruptions and the end of cheap oil, knowledge of wild plants needs to be in everyone’s toolkit!
