Editorial: Food deserts
SUMMARY: This content discusses the problem of food insecurity and food deserts in Mississippi. Food deserts are areas where people have limited access to grocery shopping, healthy foods, and affordable options. The US Food and Drug Administration estimates that there are as many as 6,500 food deserts in America. These areas often have lower education levels, lower incomes, higher unemployment rates, and higher concentrations of minority populations. In Hinds County alone, more than 31,000 people are food insecure, while Madison County has more than 11,000 and Rankin County has nearly 18,000. The content suggests supporting local solutions such as farmer’s markets and advocating for public and private partnerships to address this issue.
