Guy commented on Navigating Food Deserts

Gavin,

Great to see you surfacing a meaningful discussion around food deserts. I've recently seen two innovative solutions targeting the environments that you're mentioning - near Philadelphia and in Boston.

Check out Fare & Square - a nonprofit supermarket located in a food desert in Chester PA. They're supported by Philabundance, an organization that operates food banks in the area. You can learn more below:

Also check out the Daily Table, a retailer founded by Doug Rauch (who led Trader Joe's expansion for over a dozen years) that sells fresh and prepared foods using ingredients that are past their sell-by date but still healthy and nutritious. That's another interesting approach:

Great share, Sonia! I'm excited to hear more about the learnings from your prototype. It would be great to share them with the community!
