The end of Cornucopia

Sad news from Jeremy’s latest newsletter:

When I read this piece about One Tasmanian’s 54-year obsession to catalogue all of the world’s edible plants to end malnutrition all I could think was, “has he never heard of Stephen Facciola’s Cornucopia? I should introduce them.”

A bit of due diligence later, I discovered Facciola had died a little more than a month ago. Stephen Facciola’s edible world is better than any obituary you’re liable to read.

The Tasmanian’s name is Bruce French, and you can see the fruits of his labours online at Food Plants International.
