Podcast: Play in new window | Download (24.9MB)
Joseph Simcox is the ” Botanical Explorer” he has traveled the world for decades documenting the world’s wild and domesticated edible plants.
His work has taken him to more than 125 countries, and he and his team have led more than 500 expeditions in the pursuit of personally tracking, down eating and recording the edible plants of the world.
His premise is that humans “conquered the globe by intelligently discerning what plants they could eat that allowed our ancient ancestors to expand their populations and dominate the world. Simcox believe that the mankind’s future depends on understanding what humans past ate.
Joseph joins me today to discuss the future of food on planet earth. And folks this one is fire! Absolutely like finding a long lost brother. The guy makes me want to go Joe Rogan style and start doing 3 hour long interviews, he is that good.

Been following this guy for years, he is one of a kind!
Jack,
MOST excellent podcast.
Many thanks, keep it up.
Dude, you freaking ROCK!!!
Thank you,
This guy is amazingly aware.
He has somehow sustained himself by developing this expertise with no sign of formal training.
He has a good vision for the future of food. I hope we will eventually see it or something like it.
I’d come across some videos of Joseph on YouTube a few years back, But this interview totally opened up his mission and blew me away. This guy is all about positive and practical solutions (probably why he’s in Sweden!).
Very few people can commit their entire life to travel, following their passion, and teaching others. I try to shut up and listen whenever I’m lucky enough to come across folks like Joseph. I will definitely be keeping up with his work. Can’t wait to try my Yucca flowers!
Excellent guest and interview! Listened several times and shared with the kids. Please have him on again! Thank you.
What books did Joseph mention about halfway thru the episode?
Not on the market yet, one is in Japanese only the larger ones are coming soon, hopefully.
