Food Apartheid is a term coined by Karen Washington that describes the systemic and structural inequalities in food access, disproportionately affecting low-income and marginalized communities. The term "food apartheid" emphasizes the intentional and systemic nature of these disparities, as opposed to "food desert," which suggests a more passive and naturally occurring phenomenon.
Addressing food apartheid requires a multifaceted approach that includes increasing access to affordable, healthy, and culturally appropriate food options, supporting local food production, and involving marginalized communities in decision-making processes related to food policy and urban planning. It is essential to dismantle the systemic barriers that contribute to food apartheid in order to create a more equitable and just food system for all.
