Roushanna Gray
2025 Fellow
Roushanna Gray founded Veld and Sea, where she merges her passions for wild food, creativity, earth and ocean. Based in Cape Town, South Africa.
She has developed immersive award-winning experiences that connect people to nature through seasonal foraging and ocean-centred learning.
Over the last 16 years, her teachings on edible plants and seaweeds have inspired curiosity about the natural world, emphasizing the transformative power of nurturing reciprocal relationships with the environment.
By engaging with the seasons and cycles of nature, participants develop a deeper understanding of self, spirit, and science, perceiving these spaces as home and habitat to more than just humans, with values that go beyond food. This hands-on, multi-sensory methodology fosters a deeper connection and understanding of our natural world through a culinary and ecological lens.
