I’ve heard this term a couple of time but never actually looked into it, and it is such an alien concept to me right now. I apologise in advance for sounding dumb here.

I can understand slums and favelas having a harder time getting access to fresh food, but how come entire government-recognised and incorporated neighbourhoods with electricity, water and all those more complex services can’t have small grocery stores for basic healthy things like rice?

      Where does the local produce even go to in the case of rural areas? I assume they do a lot of monoculture, but there’s always space for a chicken or a dozen in large enough farms, and other fresh stuff one can sell to their village people.
