The more we add to the diet of wild plants, the less there will be a need for intensive cultivation of new land. We suggest you try the fragrant elderflower, which is just starting to bloom.
Agriculture is one of the main causes of biodiversity loss in Europe. In Ukraine, agricultural land makes up as much as 70% of the land fund. Intensive land use displaces steppes, wet meadows and other semi-natural and natural ecosystems that are home to hundreds of species.
Imagine: plowed land in a field of wheat, sunflower, lettuce or cucumbers, which are abundantly watered with pesticides – this is actually a desert for wildlife.
Wild plants – nettle, sorrel, rose hips, elderberry, dandelion, yarrow – can not only serve as food for us, but also preserve complex natural connections.
