A **food desert** is a geographic area where residents have limited access to affordable and nutritious food. This often occurs in low-income neighborhoods where grocery stores are scarce, and people may rely on convenience stores or fast food outlets that typically offer less healthy options.

Key characteristics of food deserts include:

- **Limited Grocery Stores**: Few or no supermarkets or fresh food markets.

- **Low Income**: Higher rates of poverty among residents, making it difficult to afford healthy food.

- **Transportation Barriers**: Lack of reliable transportation can hinder access to stores that offer healthy options.

- **Health Impacts**: Increased risk of diet-related health issues, such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.

Efforts to address food deserts often include initiatives to improve access to healthy foods, such as community gardens, farmers' markets, and mobile food markets.
