With Indy''s wisdom and guidance, learn: common foraging and farming identification terms how to measure and ID specimens recipes featuring the plants, mushrooms, and seaweeds introduced here culinary and medicinal applications the stories behind the plants; how they came to grow where they are sociocultural and economic considerations and so much more. Rare Harvest is the field guide for an ethical meal, from forest to farm, from person to plate. Foraging and growing food is more than a hobby, a trend, or a pastime--it is the answer to the preservation of humankind. Whether you live in a food desert, in the suburbs, on a rural farm, or in a high-rise in the heart of the city, your personal and genetic story is interwoven with the story of the foods you eat. By way of being human, you are already a farmer. To uncover your innate ability to grow and find food is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself.
