WE GROW WILD

How can we become more resilient while integrating our needs with the integrity of the environment in which we live?

How can we become active and beneficial participants in the ecological environment around us through our food practices?

Elements of the project

Exploration of foraging practices to become more interconnected with our bioregion and challenge our food-habits and cultural beliefs
Creativity: creation of simple recipes with wild ingredients; (Here’s the link to the Youtube channel for simple wild recipes)
Wild Week: A week long experiment in which we ate mainly foraged food collected in the rural areas of the Umbria region (Italy). Here’s the link to the dedicated page.
Documenting: daily sharing of the progresses, mistakes and findings on Social Networks (Instagram and Facebook)
Wild walks: gathering a group of interested people to go out and forage together to learn from each other.
Find your wild ally: a process designed to help people to start learning about wild edibles. This process is designed for both analogue and digital uses.

I’m a joyful advocate for compassionate and slow practices. I believe that the tendencies and patterns of the ecological environments have solutions to the many environmental, social and economical challenges that we are facing globally. In my design processes, I have been exploring practices that promote food sovereignty as a right that every living being should have.Martina
