Yes, it is so important to include the ethical discussion in foraging.

Lover your posts! I’ve just found you recently. Thank you!
This is such an important topic. I’m surprised I’m the first person commenting. I’m covering the folk lore aspect of herbs at a foraging workshop in April and this has been on my mind. Your question about harvesting 5%, and then someone else harvesting 5% and so on, puts it in perspective.
I’ve seen a couple of different approaches to foraging. Some see it from a deficit perspective as way to survive if there is a shortage of foods. It is likely that will encourage hoarding and that is a huge concern. Others see it as a way to learn about plants and possibly become acquainted with a few and grow them in their own yards. There is such a huge range of approaches.
As I listen to your concerns, I’m convinced that an ethical approach needs to be a part of the foraging workshop. Just processing and I appreciate your wisdom and insights.
