Crowdsourced Fruit-Finding Apps

This Interactive Map Helps Users Locate Wild Produce

— October 7, 2015 — Tech
'Mundraub' is a new app that helps users track down wild produce before heading out to harvest it. Although Berlin is an urban center, the city is filled with green spaces that are bursting with wild produce. This app helps local residents virtually forage for fruit and vegetables before they venture outside.

Mundraub relies on crowdsourced data to mark where wild produce can be found. The locations are added by the public and indicate the type of produce found at each location. Users are expected to follow strict guidelines in order to ensure that fruits and vegetables are not plucked from private property. The app also reminds users to handle trees and bushes carefully to ensure that no plants are harmed in the process of foraging. While the most fruit-picking sites are currently listed in Berlin, the app collects data from all over Western Europe.

The app demonstrates how community-sourced data can be used to tend to local flora.
Trend Themes
1. Crowdsourced Food-finding Apps - Developing community-sourced apps for foraging fruits and vegetables can help local residents locate food sources and reduce food waste.
2. Sustainable Urban Agriculture - Exploring ways to maximize urban spaces for agriculture can help reduce food insecurity in cities and promote sustainable food production.
3. Digital Mapping for Agriculture - Using digital mapping tools to identify and track wild produce can help optimize agricultural practices and minimize environmental impact.
Industry Implications
1. Agtech - By using technology to optimize crop production, Agtech companies can help address issues of food security and sustainability.
2. Food Waste Reduction - Creating innovative solutions for reducing food waste can help address both environmental and socioeconomic challenges related to food.
3. Community-based Agriculture - Developing community-led initiatives focused on sustainable agriculture can promote social cohesion, food security, and environmental stewardship.
