Institute for Food Laws and Regulations
February 11, 2021
Food for thought: Scott Haskell argues that regulatory changes to food pricing, taxation, education, and business incentives, are needed to address food deserts, swamps, and mirages.
Food deserts vs. food swamps vs. food mirages and food insecurity are all important societal concepts that need addressing through community participation and changes in current food laws and regulations.
Civil society uses a number of terms to describe a population’s access to food. Food deserts are often described as specific geographic areas where residents’ access to affordable, healthier food options (e.g., low use of processed foods, low sugar groceries/drinks, fresh fruits and vegetables) are generally restricted or even nonexistent due to the absence of grocery stores/supermarkets/farmers markets within a convenient traveling distance to vulnerable communities.
