Elspeth Hay is a writer and food systems thinker who’s inviting us to radically rethink how we grow our food. In her book Feed Us with Trees, she uncovers a forgotten story—one in which humans once thrived by cultivating staple foods like acorns, chestnuts, and hazelnuts in forest gardens rather than plowed fields. Through conversations with Indigenous knowledge-keepers, scientists, nut growers, and food professionals, Hay reveals how these perennial tree crops not only nourish us but also heal the land. Her work is a hopeful, eye-opening look at our ecological role as humans and a compelling call to imagine a more abundant, resilient, and sustainable food future.
