'This presentation focuses on the ethnobotanical application of exotic invasive plants for food. A big area of the discussion will underpin the opportunities to effectively make use of a problem by turning it into a resource. We will take a look at some of the prime exotic invasive plants occurring in the United States and around the world which have a host of potential applications and their use for fermentation in particular. Bio Ethnobiologist Marc Williams has taught hundreds of classes to thousands of people about plants, humans, other life forms and their interface.

This series of virtual lectures, initiated and hosted by Krater (Gaja Mežnarić Osole) & Eclipta Herbal (Alyssa Dennis), presents each of these earth workers as practitioner of the land. This endeavor provides a collective platform to share their values and approaches to their work regarding holistic understanding and interaction with novel ecosystems.
