The issue of “food deserts” — which the U.S. Department of Agriculture defines as areas lacking fresh fruit, vegetables and other whole foods — came into the spotlight earlier this year in a separate D.C. Policy Center report on the availability of healthful food in the city. The March report shows that 11.3 percent of the District is considered a food desert.
