Gina Rae La Cerva is a geographer, an environmental anthropologist, an award-winning writer, and the author of the new book Feasting Wild: In Search of the Last Untamed Food, in which she traces our relationship to wild foods and shows what we sacrifice when we domesticate them\u2014including biodiversity, Indigenous knowledge, and an important connection to nature.

In this podcast episode, Gina Rae sheds light on how colonialism has disrupted and shifted our relationship with wild nature and wild foods, and by extension transformed our landscapes; the line between building reciprocity in relationship with our living world versus simply commodifying the wild; and more.
