Urban foraging involves finding and gathering edible plants, fruits, or other natural foods in city environments. Common spots include parks, vacant lots, or sidewalks where wild greens like dandelion, purslane, or berries grow. Foragers must identify safe plants, avoiding those contaminated by pollution or pesticides. Local laws vary, so checking regulations is key. Benefits include free, nutritious food and a deeper connection to nature. However, risks like misidentification or urban toxins require caution. Apps or guidebooks can help beginners learn plant identification. Joining local foraging groups offers knowledge and community. Always respect private property and ecological balance while foraging.
