Is Recife a desert?<\/strong> This week’s Real Food looks at food deserts<\/strong>, and where Recife is in this discussion.<\/p>\n\n

Food deserts<\/strong>, for those who don’t know, are urban areas where the population simply has<\/em> little<\/em> or no access<\/em> to healthy, fresh<\/em> food. In other words, where real food is lacking<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

And then you might think: “But there are supermarkets everywhere in Recife! Much more than a few years ago!” But do these supermarkets guarantee a diet free of processed, ultra-processed, industrialized, pesticides and poisons<\/strong>? <\/p>\n\n

Which neighborhoods have access to street markets<\/strong>? Does Recife have food security<\/strong>… Or are we really a food desert<\/strong>? <\/p>\n\n

That’s what we’re talking about on Comida de Verdade<\/em>, with Alexandre Ramos<\/strong> – who has a master’s degree in Environmental Technology and specializes in Water Resources Management. He was the manager of Recife’s Executive Secretariat for Urban Agriculture and is now part of the Comida do Amanh\u00e3 Institute<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n
