Food Deserts, Nutrition, and Our Health
🍎 Why This Seminar Matters
Access to fresh, affordable, and nutritious food shouldn't depend on your zip code—but for many South Carolinians, it does.
In this live, research-based seminar, Just Humans will explore how food deserts—areas with limited access to affordable, healthy food—directly shape our health, amplify disparities, and cost our communities and healthcare system millions.
Whether you’re a healthcare provider, advocate, educator, policymaker, or simply someone who cares about health equity, this seminar will give you the data, context, and community-centered solutions you need to understand and act.
🔍 What We’ll Cover:
✔️ What are food deserts and who they impact
✔️ Data on food access in South Carolina, including racial and rural/urban disparities
✔️ How limited nutrition access fuels chronic disease and rising healthcare costs
✔️ What equitable nutrition access looks like
✔️ Community and policy-level solutions to close the gap
