Campaign Groups in England Use Gleaning to Cut Food Waste

18th century English gleaning seen as a legal right for the landless

A campaign group in Britain known as Feedback Global, embarks on a gleaning process across the entire Britain.

The group has seen it's efforts swell, working with four times as many volunteers and harvesting more than a hundred tons of unwanted fruit and vegetables from farms. 

Gleaning is not seen as a new venture as the Old Testament of the Bible guides farmers to leave overlooked produce for the poor, strangers and more specifically widows and orphans.
