Collecting wild plants in nature and cultivating herbs in the garden for medicinal purposes and daily sustenance are among humanity's most fundamental activities. Knowledge about the uses of beneficial herbs was once vital for survival and is now experiencing a resurgence among culinary enthusiasts, tradition-conscious individuals, and critical consumers. In the fourth volume of the series "Nourishing Landscape," Michael Machatschek begins with fundamental and critical reflections on landscape, nutrition, and food quality. The main part of the book provides, in a proven manner, previously undocumented practical knowledge about plants, examples of their processing, information on their effects and locations, as well as cultural-historical considerations and specific recipes. Interested readers will learn how the forest grass quickly becomes a shoe.
