Summary
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. There are plenty of reasons to keep this age-old practice alive today.
The costs of plant-based foods are steadily increasing and will continue to do so.
Also, the negative impact of processed foods and their rising costs have been well documented. The best way to respond to these challenges is to become self-sufficient.
Foraging is a huge part of self-sufficient living.
To make it a rewarding pursuit, you need to equip yourself with the right skills.
That’s why a thoroughly researched guide like this becomes invaluable. You’ll need it if you’re hesitant to forage due to lack of comprehensive information.

- And much more
If you’re already adventurous, it’s easy to incorporate foraging into your routine.
You can gather wild edible plants while hiking, walking, or camping.
And it isn’t just about food or saving time every day–it’s also a fantastic bonding opportunity for the entire family.
You’ll upgrade your culinary experience by turning foraged wild edibles into memorable meals.
The benefits go far beyond saving money on groceries–it’s fun, practical, and nourishing.

A really interesting subject and one we should all learn!
I became interested in this subject after watching a film where the main character needed to survive in the wild. This book was so interesting and well narrated, making it an engaging listen and I learnt a great deal. I feel I could now, at least, survive for a while in the great outdoors!

Skills we should all (re)learn
A well narrated audiobook that is easy to listen to and engaging. I liked the gently encouraging tone to persuade the listener to get out into nature and source some nutritious free food, which is a win win for our pockets, the planet, our well being and our health.
The only thing I am cautious about is picking something poisonous, but the book goes into detail on the steps you can take to minimise any risks of this. The book is full of useful tips on how to store and preserve your foraged food and has some tasty sounding recipes - I’m definitely going to try the nettle and rice soup!
Overall, a great choice for your first book if you are looking to make foraging a part of your life.
With love, Thashna.

Very Valuable Resource
The Audible " Foraging the Land" I consider to be a valuable resource for Foraging wild food resources from different climes around the world. Harvesting wild food requires knowledge and proper guidance from an expert. This is what this book does best by explaining in detail what is important. The connection between foraging and getting outdoors is discussed including social benefits. It is a great way to explore the outdoors without breaking the bank. In addition, basic botany knowledge is shared which helps understand plants and identify when they are edible. Overall a great resource for those looking to go into foraging.
