Boskoi

FoAM promotes human-plant interaction. One such tool is Boskoi, a mobile phone application that helps you map and navigate
the edible landscape. It offers detailed information on wild food sources, their location, edible parts, medicinal
and culinary uses. It is a database of ethnoculinary and ethnobotanic knowledge. Based on Ushahidi, the app is also open to mail, sms, tweet and uploaded pictures.

In the Netherlands the countryside is dominated by industrial agriculture this means the level of biodiversity in a city like Amsterdam is significantly higher than it is in rural areas. In public perception however it is still the countryside that is associated with an experience of nature. Boskoi also visualizes the richness of urban wildlife and vital green arteries in the city.
