Summary
Rural Britain is turning into a food desert, with over half of households earning less than £40,000 struggling to access affordable, healthy food. This rural food insecurity is more prevalent than in deprived urban areas, due to factors like limited shop access, high food prices, and poor public transport. Officials are addressing the issue with initiatives like expanded free school meals and removed child benefit limits. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
