Greenfield, who is originally from northern Wisconsin, is currently undertaking a year-long commitment to forage 100% of his food.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s day 125,\u201d Greenfield said. \u201cI\u2019m getting all my needs met\u2013calories, the fat, the protein, the vitamins, the minerals\u2013and it\u2019s a beautiful experience that the Earth is providing me with everything that I need.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the walk, Greenfield pointed to plants growing naturally around the EC Community farm, including Bidens alba\u2013often referred to as Spanish needles\u2013a plant many students recognize as an annoyance when seeds cling to clothing. But according to Greenfield, the plant is not only edible, but nutritious and important to the ecosystem.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s covered in bees, so it\u2019s important here at Eckerd to leave the Bidens alba for the pollinators,\u201d he said. \u201cBut also, there\u2019s plenty of it for us to eat.

Greenfield further elaborated on his mission in a public lecture later that day to a crowd of attendees, many of whom had participated in the plant walk. He has spoken at Eckerd before, and while he has shifted his focus from gardening his food to foraging for it, Greenfield\u2019s mission remains the same: \u201cto entertain, educate, and inspire.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]What began as little more than a curiosity about alternative living has blossomed into a movement. Greenfield travels across the country, leading plant walks, and holding speaking engagements. This pursuit culminated in the release of Food Freedom: A Year of Growing and Foraging 100% of My Food<\/em> in 2022. The book details his journey away from the food industry and into nature.<\/p>\n

In keeping with his message, all profits from the book are donated to Liberation Gardens<\/a>\u2014an organization that supports indigenous and black-led sovereignty initiatives.<\/p>\n
