It's common to see people harvest blackberries, mushrooms, chestnuts.

Sustainable Ballard organizes gleanings from the local public market. Here's one of their projects. http://www.sustainableballard.org/food-gleaning/ I hope this practice is widespread.

My city has a couple groups that will come and harvest your trees. https://www.cityfruit.org/great-seattle-fruit-harvest

Find food near you. https://fallingfruit.org http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2013/04/23/178603623/wan...

I was once told that one of the bluesky uses cases for Google Maps was to enable someone to publish urban food sources. That person had a map online for while, much like falling fruit above, but I can't quickly refind that URL.

Urban food gathering always reminds me of Octavia Bulter's "The Parable of the Sower", where the protaganist is very resourceful. (A fate I hope we manage to avoid.) http://octaviabutler.org/2017/03/parable-of-the-sower-new-ed...
