Abstract

Gleaning is the act of collecting excess fresh fruits and vegetables from farms, gardens, and orchards. Gleaning is an ancient practice dating back centuries, with mentions in several religious texts. Many communities across the United States utilize gleaning as a way to address both food insecurity and food waste. This publication outlines considerations for forming an effective community gleaning program.
