What is Urban Foraging?

Just a few people know about the possibility of edible wild plants in urban areas. With below 'Guerilla Gardening', I suppose 'Urban foraging' also promote to access to natural green space in cities. Urban foraging means finding food to eat in the urban wild. The surprising fact is that there are more than 400 edible wild foods in the U.K. and if the foragers were not harvesting these plants and vegetables, they would most likely be wasted.

Interestingly, 'Fruit City' offers a living growing map of the fruit trees in public spaces in London. If people have information for existing wild food, they can add the tree icons and the map will be updated to let others know it.

'Hackeny Harvest' also offers similar Fruit Tree Map for people living in Hackney. This map is more locally detailed.
