In recent decades, the act of supermarkets abandoning and disinvesting in inner city
locations has resulted in increasing food insecurity and urban decline for residents. These
so-called ‘food deserts’, occurring in cities throughout the United Kingdom and North
America, and including Winnipeg, should be recognized as a serious threat to the
revitalization of inner city areas. A variety of solutions can be addressed in the context of
policy change and community development.
