Abstract

If there are so many backyards with orchards and fruit trees that have tons of fruit going to waste, then why are people in Santa Barbara and other places around the world still faced with hunger? While many people have fruit trees and may take a couple oranges a week or a couple apples, many of this fruit goes to waste. I for one have an orchard that we pick almost nothing from. All of this unused fruit goes to waste, while many people really need this food. While there is already a service that allows you to sign up to get all of your fruit picked and donated, many people with unused fruit do not take advantage of this.
