Abstract
The Unshared Bounty Project at New York Law School is a policy and advocacy initiative focused on issues of food equity. Unshared Bounty promotes the basic human right to healthy affordable food, and is a resource for the local and national community. Through education, research, and advocacy, the project collaborates with local and national stakeholders to build a sustainable and equitable food system that addresses and challenges the underlying causes of food disparity.
This Report focuses on five for-profit grocery stores and food establishments that have implemented promising business initiatives to combat food deserts: (i) Brown Super Stores; (ii) Whole Foods Market; (iii) Wegmans; (iv) Juices For Life; and (v) Walmart. It dissects the initiatives that these establishments have used to provide fresh food to their communities and, as a result, how they have helped combat food deserts. By doing this, we hope to foster dialogue about how to bring positive change to food desert communities.
