🍎 Stop waste of fruits and vegetables in your farm or backyard.

Every season, millions of fruits and vegetables — perfectly edible and nutritious — never leave the farm.
Apples, pears, mangoes, tomatoes, plums… you can see them fallen to the ground, slowly rotting under the sun.
Not because they’re bad — but because no one came to pick them up.

Across the world, a third of all food grown is wasted before it ever reaches a plate.
That’s enough to feed billions, and yet it quietly disappears — taking with it the water, soil, energy, and hard work that made it grow.

🌾 Why Does So Much Go to Waste?

Behind every rotting fruit lies a story:

  • Farms often grow more than they can sell — when prices crash, it costs more to harvest than to leave it behind.
  • Labor shortages mean ripe crops stay unpicked.
  • Supermarkets reject fruits that are too small, too big, or slightly misshapen.
  • Homeowners with fruit trees simply can’t consume it all in time.

The result?
Tons of beautiful, healthy produce goes uneaten — while families elsewhere struggle to afford fresh food.

💡 The Food Pulse Solution

Food Pulse is building a bridge between abundance and need.
Our real-time map lets farmers, gardeners, and homeowners list surplus produce from their land.
Volunteers, charities, and food entrepreneurs can then connect instantly to harvest, collect, and repurpose what would otherwise go to waste.

Together, we can turn surplus into opportunity:

  • 🍓 Freeze or dehydrate fruits for year-round use
  • 🍅 Make sauces, pulps, or juices
  • 🥭 Create community food banks and nutrition packs
  • 🌻 Compost or feed animals when food is no longer edible

Every contribution keeps food in the cycle — not in the landfill.

The Global Farm-Level Food Waste Crisis

“Every apple, mango, and tomato deserves a purpose — not a landfill. So, when you see thousands of apples, mangoes, tomatoes, or plums rotting on the ground, that’s not just lost food — it’s also lost water, energy, fertilizer, and labor.

Food Dehydration

Food Dehydration

Fruit and vegetable dehydration is the oldest and most effective methods of food preservation. Dehydration inhibits microbial growth and slows down enzymatic activity, extending shelf life while maintaining much of the original flavor, nutrients, and color.
