WHAT WE DO
In Espigoladors, we want to recover and dignify the gleaning activity, an ancient practice with ancestral roots which consists in the harvest and collection, through an agreement with the farmer, of fruits and vegetables which are discarded from the commercial market for surplus production, diminishing of sales or aesthetic questions.
Thus we contribute to reducing the food waste and losses while making the task of the primary sector visible, as well as raising awareness about the value of food.
We organize gleanings directly in the fields of food which cannot be sold and we distribute them to social entities in order to provide access to healthy, nutritious food to people in vulnerable situations.
HOW CAN I PARTICIPATE
volunteering
We need curious, compromised people with willingness to learn, who want to contribute to the fight for better food usage, who want to share experiences and work hands-on with the land. If you are one of these, you are welcome to the Espigoladors community. If you are a social entity and you wish your members or volunteers participate in a gleaning activity, do not hesitate, we are waiting for you!
