Now when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap to the very corners of your field, nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest. Nor shall you glean your vineyard, nor shall you gather the fallen fruit of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the needy and for the stranger. I am the Lord your God.”

Gleaning figured prominently in the Book of Ruth and led to the accusation that Jesus and his disciples gleaned on the Sabbath (Matthew 12:1-8, Mark 2:23-28, Luke 6:1-5; https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2012%3A1-8&version=NIV, https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+2%3A23-28&version=NIV, https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+6%3A1-5&version=NIV).

Although not as widely practiced in the United States as in previous generations, there are organizations that still promote it (https://gleaningorgs.com/).

How does producers allowing for gleaning fit (or not fit) with Virtuous Leadership?
