Free food grows unnoticed?
Fruit rots on city trees yearly. Foragers lack maps and rules.
1. The problem
City trees drop fruit rotting on sidewalks yearly. Foragers lack maps of edible spots. Picking rules confuse across parks. Seasons pass unnoticed. The hardest part is legal spots in season. A tree might fruit on private land. That uncertainty makes it hard to forage freely.
“Fruit rots yearly on my street unpicked. I need seasonal maps with rules clear.”
2. What exists
Falling Fruit, local groups and foraging books map edibles, while most rot unpicked. Maps age without updates. A book might cover other regions. There is little help with live seasonal maps plus rule clarity for city foragers.
3. The solution
The solution could be a free-grocery layer for cities. It could map fruiting trees with seasons live. It could clarify picking rules per spot. Harvest alerts could fire at ripeness. The goal would be free fruit, respected trees.
