GROWING Australian native foods - or bush tucker as it is otherwise known - is as close to ''farmer nirvana'' as agriculturalists are likely to get. This is according to native food producer Larry Geno, who explains:
''This is farming a crop where there's no competition from overseas or the neighbours. ''It's an industry where we're growing demand as we grow the crops - we're not serving the market, we're creating it.'' Of course, this fledgling industry still has a long way to go, despite the fact it has moved well beyond the early days of ''wild harvests''.
At that time - around 15 years ago - the industry was largely the domain of a handful of urban-based entrepreneurs who periodically supplied niche markets with product of varying quality and limited supply.
