The Bible, in Leviticus, refers to leaving the edges of a field unharvested, so that the poor and strangers might be able to harvest those areas and not starve. A very wise method, as it gives the poor the food, yet they must do some work to obtain it.

Amazing how wise the ancients really were, when you look at what they wrote. Not always, yet often enough that many people who live by the teachings of the Bible are better off.

I like this idea!

I think every city should adopt a similar program. Crops shouldn't be plowed under when there are so many people, especially the elderly, on limited incomes who could benefit from them. It is hard to understand in a land of plenty why so many go to bed at night hungry because they had no food to eat. Hopefully there will be some kind hearts who will pull together and create programs and groups who could organize food programs and farms and companies willing to do their share so such programs can become realities. It is a great idea whose time has come.
