Hello, I'm Dashiani Navanagam and welcome to the conversation from the BBC World Service.
This is the programme which amplifies women's voices,
allowing us to hear the incredible stories and insights from women around the world.
Now, my guests today are thriving female foragers,
women seeking and harvesting wild plants and fungi throughout the seasons,
and They're both self-taught, having learnt to forage from observing the natural world around them,
and from elder foragers generously passing on their skills.
It's important to add here that they both only eat what they can identify with 100% certainty,
and as you'll hear, they stick to the rule, if in doubt, leave it out.
Roshana Gray is based in Cape Point in South Africa and is the founder of Velden Sea which teaches people to source food for free and to connect with both the land and sea through nature-based events.
And Emily Smith is from the UK but she now lives in rural Japan where she's working on a project about the country's 72 micro-seasons and its long history celebrating wild plants as food.
