The notion of “food deserts” refers to areas with limited access to affordable and nutritious food. This concept significantly impacts community health by contributing to poor diets and higher rates of chronic diseases such as obesity and diabetes. Residents of food deserts often rely on convenience stores that offer unhealthy options, which can lead to nutritional deficiencies. Limited access to fresh produce and whole grains affects the overall welfare of individuals in these communities. Addressing food deserts through initiatives like farmers' markets and local grocery stores can enhance access to healthy foods, ultimately improving community health outcomes.
