- Title
HUNGRY IN THE "LAND OF PLEASANT LIVING": COMBATING THE EFFECTS OF BALTIMORE'S FOOD DESERTS ON CHILDHOOD EDUCATION THROUGH EMINENT DOMAIN.
- Authors
Rubinstein, Gabriel H.
- Abstract
The article explores how the lack of healthy food in low-income sections of Baltimore in Maryland is a "social determinant" of health for black children and how the local government can use eminent domain to promote urban farming. Topics discussed include the identification of areas that had been classified as "food deserts" and the heightened prospect of malnutrition confronting individuals residing in these locations. The progressive history of urban farming in the city is mentioned.
