Wild Food Adventures

Regarding humans and wild foods: Foraging is the process of searching for and gathering food or provisions from wild sources. The distinction can be seen in how Native American tribes had a division of labor. The women and children foraged while the men hunted and fished. Foraging can be done to obtain plant products as well as animal products like shellfish, insects, and honey. Foragables are those things that can be gathered.
