The next portion of Wild Foods discusses the solution;nutilising wild foods to strengthen our health.The real strength in wild food resources is their world record breaking nutritional quality, which they incorporate into the daily diet as an opportunity for diversification and enhancement of the nutritional value of foods.

It is an arsenal of wild foods numbering in the hundreds that protected the world s longest living culture.
