👉 Gleaning is a concept in economics that refers to the act of picking up or collecting harvested produce from fields, forests, or other natural areas. It involves using techniques such as physical labor and mechanical tools to collect a variety of crops, including fruits, vegetables, grains, and nuts. Gleaning is often used by farmers to supplement their income during times when traditional farming methods are not viable due to weather conditions, crop failures, or other factors.
