Food insecurity isn't just a matter of feeling hungry; it's a dillema of economic, environmental, and logistical challenges that affect millions worldwide. Low-income families struggle daily to provide nourishing meals, while the impacts of climate change and natural disasters disrupt food production. On top of that, the inefficiencies in supply chains and staggering levels of food waste compound the issue, creating a recipe for a global crisis. To truly address food insecurity, we must confront these interconnected issues head-on, implementing thought-out solutions to ensure equitable access to nutritious food for all. First of all, economic disparities are a strong factor in the problem of food insecurity and create many challenges for…show more content… These economic inequalities worsen the problem, as some have greater access to resources than others, exacerbating food insecurity. Addressing these disparities is essential to ensure equitable access to food for all. According to a study by Altmetric published in The Professional Geographer in 2017 (455-471), economic factors significantly influence food accessibility, particularly in urban areas like Tehran. The study identified regions with limited access to nutritious food, particularly in neighborhoods facing economic barriers. By analyzing factors such as income levels and travel distances to grocery stores, the research underscores how economic disparities contribute to food deserts. In "Food Deserts and the Causes of Nutritional Inequality" by Hunt Allcott et al., the text goes into the economic disparities shown in food deserts. Through their analysis, the authors elaborate on how factors like income levels, employment opportunities, and neighborhood resources create unequal access to nutritious food options. The text goes over how these economic disparities contribute significantly to the emergence and persistence of food deserts, particularly in
