“…This work highlights similarities in the situation of rural NTFP users with regard to stable NTFP supplies in other areas of the country [52], including the extent to which changing patterns of land tenure, ownership, and management play in shaping access to key NTFPs. This emerging research suggests that changes in ownership patterns, land use, and land management strategies represent both challenges to, and opportunities for, the continuation of foraging practices in urbanising areas [21,32,39,40,52,62,63].…”

“…The adaptability to changes in the location and abundance of, as well as access to, required resources was evident in the case of sweetgrass resources in coastal South Carolina in the US [39,62]. First was the change in locations and the abundance of sweetgrass as harvesting areas were built upon.…”

“…On the other hand, if urban foraging was permitted, and even encouraged, authorities could actively plan for it, as well as any possible increases in magnitude, by planting species (and more of them) used by local residents. For example, Grabbatin et al [62] reported how natural sweetgrass stocks in coastal South Carolina declined due to coastal development, but subsequently were buoyed by the local authorities planting it along roadsides as an ornamental. In Grahamstown, South Africa, the municipality increasingly planted wild plum (Harpephyllum caffrum) along streets, thereby providing fruits for children and birds.…”

Urban Foraging: A Ubiquitous Human Practice Overlooked by Urban Planners, Policy, and Research

Abstract:Although hardly noticed or formally recognised, urban foraging by humans probably occurs in all urban settings around the world. We draw from research in India, South Africa, Sweden, and the United States to demonstrate the ubiquity and varied nature of urban foraging in different contexts. Across these different contexts, we distil seven themes that characterise and thereby advance thinking about research and the understanding of urban foraging. We show that it is widespread and occurs across a variety of urban spaces and places. The species used and the local practices vary between contexts, and are in constant flux as urban ecological and social settings change. This requires that urban foragers are knowledgeable about diverse species, harvest locations, and rights of access, and that their practices are adaptable to changing contexts. Despite its ubiquity, most cities have some forms of regulations that prohibit or discourage urban foraging. We highlight a few important exceptions that can provide prototypes and lessons for other cities regarding supportive policy frameworks and initiatives. The formulation of dynamic policy, design, and management strategies in support of urban foraging will benefit from understanding the common characteristics of foraging in cities worldwide, but also will require comprehension of the specific and dynamic contexts in which they would be implemented.

“…Rural gentrification is described as consumption of nature by wealthy households, along with their importation of urban amenities to rural areas-in other words, the changing of the consumption habits in rural areas (Gosnell & Abrams, 2011). The settlement patterns in rural areas re-shape depending on the preferences of newcomers (Ghose, 2004;Grabbatin et al 2011;Walker & Fortmann, 2003). Preferences such as single detached homes on extensive grounds, isolation from the village center, proximity to water, or having a view change the traditional development patterns (Ghose, 2004).…”

“…Developers divide existing field plots into smaller pieces and sell them at a profit, further causing the land use pattern to change, private property ownership to increase and open spaces and agricultural lands to decrease (Walker & Fortmann, 2003). The enclosure of large lands and increase in gated communities further changes the natural vegetation and even affect the local economy (Hurley et al, 2008;Grabbatin et al, 2011). This alteration in traditional land use is both a result of the post-productive economy, as newcomers alter the rural landscape, and its trigger on the other hand, as the new settlement patterns begin to resemble typical suburban neighborhoods and attract further investment and newcomers.…”

Rural gentrification in the North Aegean Countryside (Turkey)

This article examines rural gentrification as experienced on the North Aegean coasts of Turkey. The study area chosen is the closest Aegean coast to İstanbul and it attracts attention because of its archeological and mythological values, as well as its natural beauty and vernacular landscape. The most important element determining the rural landscape of the region is olive production. The study is based principally on indepth interviews with village mukhtars, local people, newcomers, tourism entrepreneurs, and professionals.While the rural gentrification process in Turkey, a Mediterranean country, shows similarities with the gentrification process in rural areas of developed Western countries, differences can be observed as well. Depopulation in rural areas since 1950s and development of tourism in coastal areas after 1980 has brought about the investmentdisinvestment cycle, which is in the rural gentrification theory. It has been observed that in the rural area where tourism facilities have been improved, gentrification occurs in parallel. The migration of middle class to the villages has transformed the traditional land use and rural

This article gathers together stories from wild foods pickers in West Virginia's North Central Highlands who work along the side of the road. Building from anthropological scholarship in roads, roadsides, and edgework, I argue that amid neoliberal privatization, the side of the road is a convenient place to gather wild foods. Because the property along the side of the road is often confused, ignored, or mixed, it is also a convenient place to engage in forms of commoning, (re)negotiating access to wild foods and medicines, such as elderberries, sassafras, and St. John's wort. The stories presented here were collected in interviews and participant observation conducted during ethnographic fieldwork in 2019. They demonstrate the deep, more‐than‐human relationality of enviroeconomic provisioning along the side of the road.
