New Zealand is down with foraging

If you're hungry for some foraged fods in the Land of the Long White Cloud check out the Wild Foods Festival on March 12,
where you can sample things like wasp larvae ice cream, and, in general...wait for it, because I can't resist...get your grub on!
Also, while you're at it you can check out this map of urban foraging for New Zealand. And if you can use it, I'm jealous.
What about stateside? Check out Urban Edibles for similar maps and Fallen Fruit started off the same way, but in the last couple of years has expanded to include WAY more than fruit!

A mainstream org embraces a rising movement when the US Green Building Council sponsors a talk on urban agriculture and edible landscapes in St. Louis on March 9. Some might argue if the USGBC is mainstream, but with the size of their workforce, they can't be considered small timers anymore.

Alex Rochas delivers this funky 1,500 foot edible green roof/rooftop garden in Los Angeles.



Looking for a great blog? Behold Danielle Nierenberg's Nourishing the Planet, it's there I read about one of Malawi's new permaculture miracle workers
.

Short video on how to build a staple of permaculture gardens, the herb spiral.
