Program Manager & Trainer/ Facilitator, BENIH MATAHARI[www.bima-esw.org] (2004 – 2008) Independent Researcher (2003 – 2009)Did research on edible wild plants, had collected about some 300species <strong>of</strong> plant that can be used for food, completed withinformation on its utilization: culturally, environmentally andeconomically.

Regional Coordinator, PROFAUNA [www.pr<strong>of</strong>auna.net](2003 – 2005) ■+ sometimes it is not ethical e.g. using pig genes invegetables (not halal)+ causes health problems e.g. using peanut genes invegetables, people with peanut allergies may eatthe genetically modified vegetable and die <strong>of</strong> thepeanut allergy without knowing why.+ damage <strong>of</strong> the environment and human asherbicides/pesticides are genetically placed insidethe genes <strong>of</strong> the altered plants for them to be moreresistant to weather, etcIn Sweden, farmers are not allowed to grow their ownseeds (passed down by families). <strong>The</strong>y have to getthe seeds certifiedThis seed certification problem also occurred inKediri whereby a group <strong>of</strong> farmers were arrestedbecause they used local corn seeds (not certifiedseeds)GMO seeds can only yield once. This is so to createdependency from corporations like Monsanto onthe supply <strong>of</strong> food to the world.SIMPLE SOLUTION Food gardening subsistence farming - growing just enough for ahousehold (the government prevents this bygrabbing land from people) food sharing edible wild plantsWhy edible wild plants? It’s because they're free,cheap, abundant, part <strong>of</strong> people's lives and culture,much much more nutritious. It’s vulnerabe todanger <strong>of</strong> extinction if not well researched, studiedand cultivatedSome examples <strong>of</strong> edible wild plants: greendandelion, krokot (purselane), hibiscus, bouganvilleflowers, kastuba, sintrong, tempuyung.WHY DON'T PEOPLE EAT WILD PLANTS? Prestige: Food for the poor (stigma <strong>of</strong> eating wildplants connotes poverty, not being able to buyvegetables in the market) strange taste taboo (for example daun kelor is known for drivingevil spirits away, or the negative connotationassociated with eating genjer from the 1965 song"genjer genjer")ACTIVITIES OF MANTASA Research Education: teaching villagers about edible wildplants, teaching them about basic nutrition sincemost <strong>of</strong> them don't even understand what acarbohydrate is, or what vitamins/minerals are Campaign: e.g. through wild cooking show, slowfood educationPP Yvonne thanked Ms. Hayu, who has come a longway from Surabaya just to delivering such a veryinspiring presentation.
