Fresh Produce Recovery Models
Fresh fruit and vegetables are frequently in low supply at food banks. One solution is gleaning: collecting excess fresh foods from farms, gardens, farmers markets, grocers, restaurants, state/county fairs, or other sources, in order to provide fruit and produce to those in need. Several innovative models exist for increasing fresh food diversion to food recovery organizations, including Boulder Food Rescue, Friendship Donations Network’s Neighborhood Food Hubs, and Salvation Farms.
