This book provides an accessible introduction to food inequality in the United States, offering readers a broad survey of the most important topics and issues and exploring how economics, culture, and public policy have shaped our current food landscape.

Food inequality in the United States can take many forms. From the low-income family unable to afford groceries and the migrant farm worker paid below minimum wage to city dwellers stranded in an urban food desert, disparities in how we access and relate to food can have significant physical, psychological, and cultural consequences. These inequalities often have deep historical roots and a complex connection to race, socioeconomic status, gender, and geography.

This book explores different types of food inequality and highlights current efforts to improve food access and equity in the United States. It delves deep into a variety of issues and controversies related to the subject, offering thorough and balanced coverage of these hot-button topics. Readers are provided with a variety of useful supplemental materials, including case studies, a timeline of critical events, and a directory of resources.
