Auckland Underground Fruit Economy

All over the city there is food that is being grown by nature, which falls on the ground and rots without being utilized.

This is a treasure map for the city, displaying information about neglected fruit trees throughout the Auckland area which are publicly accessible.

For this purpose we have set up a Google Map, which is open to public editing, which will hold this important information.

This map is also open for persons who have fruit trees on their own property, yet are unable to consume everything their tree produces, and are happy to share their natural resources with others.

If you know of some fruit trees, feel free to add it to this map, including information on what time of year the tree is best accessed, what the fruit is, and any other required information.

There is food all around us, and the city certainly has the natural facility to produce much more. Plant gardens, pick fruit, and reclaim our foods. Local food is the best food. Keep your carbon foot print down.
