No 333568, USDA Miscellaneous from United States Department of Agriculture

Abstract: Excerpts from the Introduction: In recent years, there has been concern that some communities do not have sufficient access to quality food at reasonable prices. The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), which administers the Federal food assistance programs, is particularly concerned with food access for households that have limited resources. In these households, access plays an important role in obtaining a nutritious diet. As a means of providing more information on this subject, FNS contracted with CRP, Incorporated to compile an annotated bibliography. This document is intended to serve as a guide to the literature on food access strategies, issues and developments. It has been written to assist those who want to learn more about the issue, as well as those who are actually planning or implementing strategies. The broad range of documents summarized can help individuals or organizations better understand the issues and challenges associated with developing food access solutions. Over 300 printed materials are annotated in this bibliography.
