Comment on this one goes out to the urban planning nerds

I’m all for it, but realistically it’s not a feasible solution? It’s to costly, wheter it be to collect it and give to public safely, or to provide ladders and medical care for the people who inevitably fall.

My area has en entire non-profit org devoted to urban foraging, so maybe my perspective on its feasibility is a little different.

… a non profit relies on donations… so it’s either paid through taxes like I mentioned, or through money in the end anyways…?
Sure I guess that works?

I mean they’re harvesting food I bet sales can cover ladders and fuel and whatnot. If you’re short on workers ask literally any other non-profit if they wouldn’t like half a ton of apples to make pie with for one of their projects, you’ll get your workers. Have a general “pluck two get one” policy for anyone who is not a business.
Basically all that’s necessary is to have someone responsible for organising stuff, the economics are trivial as we’re literally talking about distributing stuff for free.
