Organic wild refers to organic agriculture products which are collected from wild land. As of 2005, organic wild products are farmed on approximately 62 million hectares. According to the International Federation of Organic Agricultural Movements 36% of these were bamboo shoots, 21% were fruits and berries, and 19% were nuts (IFOAM 2007:10). The first IFOAM conference on organic wild products was held in May 2006.

Famous quotes containing the words organic and/or wild:
“When life has been well spent, age is a loss of what it can well spare,—muscular strength, organic instincts, gross bulk, and works that belong to these. But the central wisdom, which was old in infancy, is young in fourscore years, and dropping off obstructions, leaves in happy subjects the mind purified and wise.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“... if we have a dollar to spend on some wild excess, we shall spend it on a book, not on asparagus out of season.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
