My name is Richard Mawby and I am a forager who took part in the Wild Biome project in 2023. We started with only 26 foragers who lived only on wild food for three months to mimick what our hunter gatherer ancestors ate to see how it would impact our modern day gut and overall health.
It was a fascinating experience and in 2025 we are coming back bigger with over 150 potential participants. We will be doing more extensive testing at multiple periods as seasons change. This is a fantastic opportunity to gather valuable data for citizen science to see how our hunter gatherer ancestors diets could help us in the modern world.
We hope to generate some university funding, but we have been advised to get some personal funding to put towards testing so that in the event we are short of any funds we are able to continue with the project without issue.
The fund thresholds and what they would go towards is as follows:
£700 - Personal tests covered.
£700 - £2000 - Funds to help with travelling to the coast to forage, visit other people on the project and get more video footage and help with other logistical cost as I will be working minimally during the project.
> £2000 - More opportunities to delve deeper into the experience, more footage, travelling for diversity of wild foods, donate any extra towards anyone else who did not raise enough funding themselves.
I thank you in advance for donating to this project.
