The Lexicon of Sustainability

Forage

Episode 1 | 6m 35s

Our earliest descendants were hunter/gatherers who foraged for their food.

Our earliest descendants were hunter/gatherers who foraged for their food, were in tune with their surroundings, and ate with the seasons. After foraging was essentially replaced by agriculture, people became increasingly detached from where their food came from. Foraging offers people a way to reconnect with nature and shows that food is all around us.
