Studies on foraging argue that the practice is not merely associated with communities of the past. Sociological research examining foraging as a lifeway within the context of a wealthy nation, such as the US, is currently limited. Relying on 28 semi-structured interviews, more than 24 hours of observation, and 11 site-visits with foragers/wildcrafters across the state of Oklahoma, I highlight what is gained through the practice for practitioners, how they construct notions of nature, and explore their concerns and predictions on the future of food and nature. I accomplish this by asking: Why do people engage in foraging practices and how do foragers/wildcrafters construct the notion of nature within their foodscapes? What concerns do foragers/wildcrafters have regarding the future of food and nature and what solutions do they propose? Foragers and wildcrafters reveal their practices allow for both tangible and non-tangible benefits, including a deep connection with place and nature in the process of procuring wild edibles. Most practitioners consider humans as part of nature and uniquely view their surroundings as imbued with food and medicinal possibilities. Their constructions of nature make them critical of the function of current food systems and extractive industries within Oklahoma and on a global level. I employ literature on the social construction of nature, informed by existing literature on foraging as a practice, as well as critical discussions of food regimes and foodscapes. While participants make note of and take-on an array of solutions and strategies they carry out in their foodscapes, they also note a cultural shift is necessary to reframe how we construct nature in the dominant culture and adequately address environmental degradation and climate change. Despite concerns and even fears regarding the future of food, most participants remain optimistic due to their knowledge of the local landscape, their food consumption habits, and the resiliency of nature. Foragers’ knowledge of place and plant identification cause them to be intimately aware of local landscape dimensions and changes, making them experts in identifying concerns and potential solutions connected to larger food and nature futures.
