About this book:

The Rise of Urban Foraging Step into the secret world thriving right under your feet—where dandelions, mulberries, and wild mushrooms turn city sidewalks, parks, and forgotten lots into a free, flavorful pantry. *The Rise of Urban Foraging* invites you to trade supermarket aisles for sidewalk safaris, showing you how to identify, harvest, and safely prepare the edible treasures that nature scatters throughout every urban landscape.
