At the very least, Pascoe's charity needs to make public

Quote:Black Duck Foods aims to re-develop traditional food growing
and country management in Australia by increasing awareness
of Indigenous cultivation techniques and identifying what methods
can be applied today.
A critical issue for the organisation is ensuring that traditional
Indigenous growing techniques are utilised and employed
for the economic benefit of Indigenous people.
As far as I knew, aborigines were primarily hunter-gatherers, which
is a type of subsistence lifestyle that relies on hunting for animals,
fishing, and foraging for wild vegetation and other nutrients like honey,
for food. I wasn't aware that they planted food crops and/or processed
them or stored them.
So... what crops did they cultivate and store, and what sort of
"management" did they utilise across the country?
