These are also the groups most likely to live in food deserts, and researchers have established a strong correlation between food insecurity and increased diabetes rates.

(Food Is Power)
Educating those in the community or tract of the food desert can help make changes, such as growing their own food and working with local convenience stores to sell healthier food options. Public awareness of food deserts can lead to healthy discourse and may even lead to ideas about how to end food deserts in America once and for all. (Gardening Know-how)

Продовольственная пустыня

Продовольственная пустыня, «food desert» – научная метафора, которая отражает нарушение доступа населения к экономически приемлемому для него и качественному продовольствию в пространственно-географическом аспекте.
Example sentences:
Продовольственные пустыни, как правило, населены малообеспеченными жителями с ограниченной подвижностью; это делает их менее привлекательным рынком для крупных сетей супермаркетов. (Википедия)
Расширение городской территории приводит к появлению так называемых «продовольственных пустынь» в мегаполисах по всей территории США. К такому выводу пришли ученые, опубликовавшие исследование в Urban Studies Journal. (Гуманитарные науки)
