I am attempting this approach in East tn.

I think of it as optimized foraging. I apply permaculture techniques to shaping the land so the water soaks in and spreads out.

I let areas "go" quite a bit, then I chop and drop around the most useful volunteers.

Getting creative with food prep helps in making wild stuff more interesting to eat.

Wild greens - pesto with foraged nuts, ferment into kraut
Native fruit trees - pick when green and ferment, or make jelly
Alliums - roasted/soups/etc.

Using what you have requires thinking differently than shopping at farmers market for perfect specimens.

Soak, sprout, ferment, soup, grind, etc
