Food deserts, areas with limited access to affordable and nutritious food, can significantly impact public health. Residents in these regions often rely on processed foods high in sugar and unhealthy fats, contributing to increased rates of obesity, diabetes, and other chronic diseases. Limited access to fresh produce and whole grains affects dietary quality, exacerbating health disparities. Furthermore, food deserts can increase food insecurity, leading to poor nutrition and overall well-being. Addressing these issues requires community engagement and policy changes to increase access to healthy food options.
