In this episode Olivia Taylor speaks to Roushanna Gray about food as a powerful learning tool & connector that all people can relate to, access to land & limiting policies, the importance of preserving plant & animal names in vernacular, the untapped potential of seaweeds, whether foraging is a romanticised notion, how to personally re-connect with nature, and so much more!
Roushanna Gray is the founder of Veld and Sea, an immersive and experiential wild flavour focused business based in Cape Town. The concept of Veld and Sea is to track the edible landscape through the seasons, with workshops that invite others to experience what nature’s flavour of the moment is. In Summer coastal foraging, in Autumn and Winter land-based harvesting and in the Springtime the focus moves to the flowers.
