This week on EnvironMental, aub did a deep dive into food deserts.

More than 10% of people in the US live in a food desert, which is a geographic area where access to affordable, healthy food options are limited.

Our ability to create and grow food from a centralized place also allowed for things like urban city sprawl and a decrease in rural farms - and with both of these came food deserts.

There is no perfect solution for the food desert because every area is unique and we're so used to being separate from our food system, that it will take TIME to implement actual systems of change.

Tune in to hear to learn about the prevalence of food deserts and the potential solutions aub found for food deserts around the country.
