If beef is what’s for dinner, then Canada goose may be the invasivore’s alternative. So says Jackson Landers, the "Locavore Hunter" who first caught C-VILLE’s attention with his "Deer Hunting for Locavores" course and is currently at work on Eating Aliens, in which he writes about making meals from different ecological menaces.
Landers appeared in Sunday’s New York Times to discuss how a diet of invasive species can sustain a person as well as his immediate ecosystem. James Gorman writes that Landers "has branched out from the locavore life to invasives, and lionfish are one target. But as he has pushed the envelope of the invasivore approach, he has hunted and eaten feral pigs, two species of iguana, armadillos, starlings, pigeons and resident Canada geese."
"Thus far I seem to be the only person around who is dead serious about actually making a point of killing and eating invasive species," Landers wrote on his blog after the Sunday issue was published. "But it’s nice to see I’ve got some company out there who is at least thinking in that direction."
