Harvesting Bushfood from the Streets - Peter Hardwick
Peter Hardwick is a well-known pioneer and visionary in the development of bushfoods in Australia.  The recognition of sub-tropical bushfoods, such as Davidson plum, Dorrigo pepper, lemon myrtle and riberries is due largely to his initial work in the 1980's.  Very recently, Peter has made a significant departure from his previous work.  He used to see street harvesting more as a back-up or a supplement to farmed food - but now a new vision sees great potential in street and park plants becoming a main source of food.  With increased action to plant public commons with a rich variety of edible plants and to restore bushfoods to regenerated forests he believes amazing new, sustainable sources of food can be realized.
