Description

In this episode, I’m joined by my friend Bryan from Healing Ecosystems. He’s someone who’s not just talking about food resilience—he’s living it, experimenting with wild foods, and creating abundance on the land in ways most people haven’t even considered.

Episode Overview:

• Guerrilla grafting edible pear varieties onto ornamental Bradford pears in public spaces
• How to grow and forage wild carbohydrates like turnips, sweet potatoes, Jerusalem artichokes, and groundnuts
• Traditional acorn processing through cold water leaching and how Indigenous peoples did it at scale
• Foraging Japanese knotweed: why it’s invasive, how to harvest it, and what it tastes like
• Practical strategies for building food resilience with wild and perennial calorie crops
