	Description:		Is foraging sustainable? Is a black market around wild foods okay? Dr. Mikelis Grivins, a senior researcher at the Baltic Studies Centre, has built his academic career on studying foraging and the sustainability transition in Central and Eastern Europe. In this episode, we discuss the alternative food system and business that exists around wild foods in Europe. We also take a look at how post-Soviet states like Latvia had to develop alternative food pathways like foraging and how that feeds into today's conversations around sustainability. 2:30 Overview of The Baltic Food System and how it has evolved 8:30 Why alternative food systems are important 20:00 4 types of foragers across Europe 30:50 Exploitation, transparency & regulation in the wild food market 50:40 The Nordics-Baltic food system and why collaboration is important Why all food is artificial Using blockchain to trace from farm to fork This podcast was recorded live at the Future of Food Hackathon in Riga, Latvia and is supported by the Nordic Council of Minister's Office in Latvia.
