second harvest

Fields yield again

Second harvest refers to a secondary crop gathered after the main harvest, or to gleaning—collecting leftover produce from fields after commercial harvesting.

The term often appears in the names of food banks and hunger relief organizations that rescue surplus food from farms, restaurants, and groceries for redistribution: The Second Harvest food bank distributed thousands of pounds of rescued produce.
