Whereas farmers markets offer a wide variety of local and regionally sourced products, they may also provide the only access to healthy, affordable food for many living in densely populated, low-income urban neighborhoods where such nutritious items are scarce.

Whereas farmers’ markets offer a wide variety of local and regionally sourced products, they may also provide the only access to healthy, affordable food for many living in densely populated, low-income urban neighborhoods where such nutritious items are scarce.

  • This lack of access to fresh food is a chief factor in the rise in obesity and diet- related diseases in the economically disadvantaged population.
