Pedalling Fruit Pickers Project Kit: How to start a community food harvesting project
The Pedalling Fruit Pickers program kit is based on a project involved teams of volunteers collecting surplus fresh fruit from fruit trees in their neighbourhood, and distributing it by bicycle to members of the community who, for whatever reason, do not have access to fresh food.
This project creates significant environmental and social benefits in the local community while additionally encouraging bicycle use and volunteering. The kit is available free for not-for-profit use and will tell you how to run your own Pedalling Fruit Pickers project.
Pedalling Fruit Pickers was run by Environment Victoria in 2007 and 2008, funded by the Victorian Department of Planning and Community Development.
