Veteran Forager- Vanessa Waters

Vanessa Waters is a veteran forager and speaker. She shares her knowledge of foraging as a means of empowerment to combat a scarcity mindset. "Abundance is all around us if we put our foraging lenses on. Today many people rely on grocery stores for food due to convenience but foraging can be a way of optimizing our health, adjusting to a prosperity mindset, saving some money and contributing to a sustainable future."

"Foraging is a collaborative activity. It's about sharing, and it requires a deep connection to place. There is an unwritten etiquette involving a caring for others. A rule of thumb is to take no more than a third of what is growing profusely. This way you leave some for the animals, others and enough for the plant to propagate so there is some next year."

Michael Pollan points out that "17% of fossil fuels go to feeding ourselves, compared with 18% used for personal transportation so industrial agriculture has a big impact on climate change." Another great reason to learn about the abundance in our ecosystem.
