Forgotten Foods: Plant Knowledge After WWII Analyzing the systematic removal of botanical education

Описание: Forgotten Foods: Plant Knowledge After WWII Analyzing the systematic removal of botanical education from school curricula following WWII and how traditional plant knowledge disappeared from mainstream education during the rise of industrial food systems. Before 1950, American children learned to identify dozens of wild plants in school. After WWII, botanical education vanished from curricula just as processed food companies needed new markets. 📚 Victory garden programs that taught plant knowledge were replaced with nutrition education promoting packaged foods. Same timing, opposite messages. Why do you think schools stopped teaching plant identification right when chemical and food industries were expanding? #ForgottenFoods #ForagingKnowledge #FoodSovereignty #WildEdibles #AncestralWisdom Forgotten foods botanical education removal, Wild foraging knowledge school curriculum, Traditional food systems educational policy, Indigenous plant medicine school programs, Criminalized foraging plant identification, Food sovereignty educational changes, Traditional plant knowledge school systems, Botanical education postwar policies, Wild plant identification curriculum, Traditional knowledge educational erasure Informational content only.
