Wild Foods Foraging, the Good, the Bad, and The Ugly
Guest Speaker: Jonah Raskin
7:30pm, Thursday, August 16th, 2012
FREE at the Randall Museum, 199 Museum Way, San Francisco, CA
Foraging is making a comeback, with ever more people eager to find food in the wild. But with a growing population and diminishing natural resources, is it a sustainable practice? Jonah Raskin, author of books and articles about food, farming, and agriculture, will address this issue.
Jonah Raskin is the author of 14 books, including most recently, “Field Days: A Year of Farming, Eating, and Drinking Wine in California” and “Marijuanaland: Dispatches from an American War.” He has written about the ethics of foraging for Bay Nature.
You can read more about this in a Bay Nature article from Apr/June of 2012: The Forager’s Dilemma.
