From the ever-valuable Australian New Crops Newsletter, Issue No 4, July 1995. Australian Wild Herbs and the Bushfood Industry Vic Cherikoff  As we approach the end of the twentieth century, with our diversity of culture, communications and technology, the world depends upon eight plant species for the majority of its food supply. None of these is native to Australia. There are advantages in diversity. Natural ecologies only retain their resilience against catastrophe if they maintain a high degree of biodiversity. The simpler the system, the less chance that it will be sustainable over time. Our current food production methods are invariably biologically simple and are dependent on artificial chemicals, major capital investments, etc.
