Urban Foraging in a Changing World: An Introduction

Foraging by humans is an activity that is increasingly being observed in urban areas. This book presents a collection of scientific research and practitioner perspectives on urban foraging from different parts of the world. The sections in the book document what urban humans forage for, why, where, and how, and what urban foraging could look like in the emerging future. Acknowledging that these aspects are inherently interlinked, this chapter iterates the relationships between urban foraging and experiential learning, human well-being, and environmental stewardship. We invite readers to delve into the diversity and possibilities of urban foraging.
