BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) — A first-of-its kind online map developed by Florida’s Department of Agriculture shows where the so-called “food deserts” are in the state — areas that have few or no mainstream grocery stores.
The online program, dubbed “Florida’s Roadmap to Living Healthy,” launched Thursday. While it is available to anyone with Internet access, it’s intended for food banks, churches, non-profits and other policymakers trying to get food into the hands of hungry people.
