Obviously at high population densities foraging is itself a problem.

There’s not enough for everyone to forage, passing laws allowing everyone to forage would be like a swarm of locusts that the environment might no bounce back from. Wild animals can’t just go to Aldi’s if hipsters “foraged” all the food.

These days you can’t really trust foraged food due to all the pollution
In some countries (with low population density and low pollution) there are laws allowing to roam and forage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_to_roam
The only mention of foraging is berries in Norway, and that doesn’t even include every kind of berry…
Wild berry foraging is part of the right. Picking cloudberries may, however, be restricted on privately owned land in northern parts of Norway.[
There are in practice very few restrictions in Scandinavia. It only works because the population density and rate of abuse is low.
That’s not what your source says…
And it’s not even what you claimed the source said originally…
I get you’re the mod and this is your sub, but you’re just saying random shit that’s factually untrue.
My source on allemannsretten is having been there and making use of it. I’m sorry if the random source I pulled up doesn’t fit your criteria. Maybe this will https://www.lifeinnorway.net/allemannsretten-right-to-roam/
Yes, the details in different Scandinavian+Finland countries will vary.

In 17th- to 20th-century England, the Lockeian idea that property should be made and held by the highest-value creators formed the justification for enclosure of the commons.
Thats not a lockeian idea. Locke was quite clear that private property was unjustifiable when there wasn’t as much and as good available for everyone else.
