Food desert in West Oakland : ウィキペディア英語版 | Food desert in West Oakland
West Oakland, California, can be considered a food desert because its residents have low access and affordability to healthy foods, are influenced by racial, ethnic, and socio-economic disparities, and bear the consequences of the industrial flight from the flatlands of Oakland to the rest of Bay Area. Some academic researchers contend that Oakland's history of under-realized industrialization led to the emergence of a food desert. The negative impact of food deserts in West Oakland is traced by low accessibility and affordability to healthy foods, which leads to the high rates of poor diets and obesity levels.〔 Several public advocacy groups and community-based organizations has emerged as a part of the food desert movement in West Oakland. ==Definition and overview== There is no standard definition or agreed upon set of qualifications for an area to be designated as a "food desert". The USDA 2008 Farm Bill defined a food desert as "an area in the United States with limited access to affordable and nutritious food, particularly such an area composed of predominantly lower income neighborhoods and communities (Title VI, Sec. 7527)".〔USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture). ("Report to Congress: Access to Affordable and Nutritious Food: Measuring and Understanding Food Deserts and Their Consequences" ), Washington D.C, 2009.〕 Alternatively, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) contends that "food deserts are areas that lack access to affordable fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low fat milk, and other foods that make up the full range of a healthy diet".〔CDC (Center for Disease Control: Office of the Associate Director for Communication, Division of News and Electronic Media, US Government). ("A Look Inside Food Deserts" ), 24 Sep 2012, Retrieved 18 Mar 2014.〕 Alternatively, some researchers define food deserts as ‘‘urban areas with 10 or fewer stores and no stores with more than 20 employees’’, while other academics define food deserts as ‘‘poor urban areas, where residents cannot buy affordable, healthy food’’.
