Food recovery is the collection of wholesome food for distribution to the poor and hungry. The four most common methods are:
Field Gleaning - The collection of crops from farmers' fields that have already been mechanically harvested or on fields where it is not economically profitable to harvest.
Perishable Food Rescue or Salvage - The collection of perishable produce from wholesale and retail sources.
Food Rescue - The collection of prepared foods from the food service industry.
Nonperishable Food Collection - The collection of processed foods with long shelf lives.
