This report fills a request for a study of food deserts-areas with
limited access to affordable and nutritious food-from the Food,
Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008. The report summarizes
findings of a national-level assessment of the extent and
characteristics of food deserts, analysis of the consequences of
food deserts, lessons learned from related Federal programs, and a
discussion of policy options for alleviating the effects of food
deserts. Overall, findings show that a small percentage of
consumers are constrained in their ability to access affordable
nutritious food because they live far from a supermarket or large
grocery store and do not have easy access to transportation.
