Open Talks: Foraging and the Ancestral Food Forests
Event Details
Join us for an enlightening conversation with ethical forager and nomadic cook Dewa Ayu Made at Dome as she delves into the art of foraging and the ancient wisdom of Bali’s food forests.
This discussion will explore the deep-rooted connections between Balinese culture and its ancestral landscapes, highlighting how traditional foraging practices have shaped Bali’s culinary heritage and its relationship with nature.
Made will share her experiences navigating Bali’s lush terrain to discover wild edibles and medicinal plants, emphasising sustainable and respectful harvesting methods that honour both the land and its traditions.
