For the last year, Robin Greenfield foraged 100% of his food and medicine, living entirely off the abundance found in the outdoors! The Conservation Foundation and Joliet Junior College's Office of Sustainability are hosting Robin Greenfield, environmental activist, forager, and author, to share about his journey to food freedom through foraging as he explores questions of eating in harmony with Earth, living sustainably, and living in reciprocity with nature. Join us for an eye-opening exploration of food sovereignty through the practice of foraging. After his presentation, Robin will also lead a short plant walk identifying some common edible plants found in the local landscape and will offer a signing of his book, Food Freedom, which will be available on a donation basis. A reception with light refreshments and a seed swap will also be held during the time of the book signing.
