Welcome
To the Tucson Youth Mapping and Gleaning Project Home Page



The main goal of our project is the redistribution of local food resources. There is an abundance of food in the back yards arcoss Tucson. Nevertheless, much of this valuable resource goes to waste. This project unites the ancient practice of gleaning and technology of the 20th cenury to remedy this problem. The culmination of the project was a digital map of the available food resources in an urban setting. This map enabled us to organize a farmers style food exchange.
