Monica ‘Mo’ Wilde is a Research Herbalist and a keen forager. She has lived only on wild food for a year and, intrigued by the health benefits, ran a study with 24 other foragers eating wild called The Wildbiome Project. Her book The Wilderness Cure (Simon & Schuster) won the John Avery 2023 award for original and adventurous writing. It explores many of the issues around food and our relationship with nature, encountered during her year on wild food. Mo also practices in the Claid Clinic at Napiers the Herbalists.
