Episode 4: Rural Life Nhet (Plant People #2)

At Plant Planet Plate we strongly believe in the importance of nature as a facilitator of learning and well-being. We are definitely not the only people who feel this way. So we present the first edition of our "Plant People" series, where we talk to plant people from all over the world.


Today on the podcast, we're heading back to the Agri-Tech Centre with Muneezay Jaffery. Muneezay is joined by Cambodian content creator and wild foods forager Nhet Thamng from the "Rural life Nhet" YouTube channel. Nhet discusses her passion for foraged plants, food, and digital storytelling.
