Do you live in a food desert?

Radio 4 in Four

Available for over a year

About 1 in 10 deprived areas in the UK are in what’s known as ‘food deserts’. It means that more than a million people in the UK have limited access to affordable fresh food. Many also don’t have access to a car and that means they have to walk to get more expensive convenience stores. Shari Vahl finds out more. First broadcast on You & Yours, 3 November 2021.
