A solution to this problem was developed 24 years ago by farmers in Monterey, Santa Cruz and San Benito Counties when they realized that 20 percent of their product was going to waste. They collectively decided to create an agricultural nonprofit organization known today as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.agagainsthunger.org\/\">Ag Against Hunger<\/a>&nbsp;to collect and distribute all of their surplus produce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/plantingseedsblog.cdfa.ca.gov\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/DSC_0248.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" src=\"http:\/\/plantingseedsblog.cdfa.ca.gov\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/DSC_0248-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"Gleaning session - photo courtesy of Ag Against Hunger image\" class=\"wp-image-5240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plantingseedsblog.cdfa.ca.gov\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/DSC_0248-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/plantingseedsblog.cdfa.ca.gov\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/DSC_0248.jpg 448w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Gleaning session &#8211; photo courtesy of Ag Against Hunger<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Ag Against Hunger\u2019s primary function is to prevent the waste of fresh vegetables and fruit. Instead of disking full fields of produce or paying fees to get rid of harvested product, producers choose to contact Ag Against Hunger to distribute the produce to food banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The organization is still supported by its founding community of local farmers, which provides board members along with financial assistance and, of course, produce. Since 1990, Ag Against Hunger has distributed over 212 million pounds of fruits and vegetables to help our local food bank partners across California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about us, please visit our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.agagainsthunger.org\/\">website<\/a>.
