Presented By: Michael Whalen and Marisa Rudolph No Produce Left Behind Presented By: Michael Whalen and Marisa Rudolph

On-Farm Recovery Potential for Food Bank Distribution Concept paper written by Michael Harwood & Greg Baker The Assumption Food is left in field due to cosmetic defects Some of this is perfectly edible Not well documented The Goal Determine potential to fill the gap between demand and supply at Second Harvest Food Bank Potential for food banks to become effective MARKETS OF LAST RESORT for fresh produce industries

Purpose of Summer 2016 Conduct well-replicated field surveys to establish the gleaning potential Identify and quantify major categories of left-behind produce for each crop Assess salvage potential and select candidates for further field survey completion

The Field Survey Area Santa Clara is close to major centers of fresh produce production Most of these are hand harvested Neighboring Monterey Bay counties grow cool- season crops Leafy greens Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage etc. Berries The inland San Joaquin valley grows warm- season produce Melon Tomato Sweet Corn

Crops Surveyed Romaine Hearts Bunched Spinach Celery Artichoke Sweet Corn Tomatoes Strawberries Broccoli Cauliflower Cantaloupe

70+ Field Surveys with 31 Companies

Perfectly good produce is being left behind

Lettuce show you the data…

Looking Forward Re-visiting growers and fields for proof of concept High level of variability Expanding up to 15 new species Including tree crops 3 summer seasons Focused on Second Harvest Food Bank clients Investigating cost margin for harvest & redistribution Advocacy stage, government & nonprofit Nature is capricious!
