## Resource

Host Louis De Jaeger speaks with Elspeth Hay, author of Feed Us With Trees , about humanity’s forgotten relationship with perennial food systems. They explore trees as historic staple foods, the resilience of perennials, Indigenous food knowledge, and how reconnecting with tree-based nourishment can reshape our food systems, culture, and sense of belonging. #FoodForestPodcast #PerennialFood #TreesAsFood #Agroforestry #IndigenousKnowledge #RegenerativeFood #FoodSystems #EcologicalAbundance #SustainableLiving
