1. The Toolkit

What is in this toolkit?

This toolkit is the ‘How To’ resource for setting up gleaning in your area. You and your community group will be responsible for reaching out to farmers, recruiting and coordinating volunteers, sourcing equipment and organising the redistribution of the food that you glean.

Once these connections are made with farmers, the gleaning opportunities should present themselves year after year, providing the farmer with the means to redistribute their surplus and the community a chance to directly connect to their food system, as well redirecting food to those in need.
