On Urban Food Deserts / Jane Battersby
Manage episode 351040060 series 3272996
The idea of food deserts was not known to me a few years ago. I recognized my privilege in having access to nutritious fresh food but still had a lot to learn about how certain areas are devoid of that basic necessity because of planning policies, politics and economic factors.
Jane Battersby is an urban geographer based at the University of Cape Town with an interest in all things food related, with a particular focus on the African context. Her work focusses on the interactions between urban systems and food systems in shaping lived experiences of food security and nutrition.
