对于用于识别和可视化城市中心的食物沙漠的方法，以及在较小程度上农村社区的食物沙漠，人们普遍达成了共识。然而，食物沙漠测绘的主要因素是与食物提供者的距离，而不考虑食物本身的营养价值。本文的目的是通过纳入食品供应商的定性排名，根据他们提供更健康食品选择的可能性，提供一种更广泛的方法来提炼食品沙漠概念。我们将这一技术应用于佛蒙特州农村的拉特兰县，将传统的杂货店、超市、大型商店、杂货店和加油站纳入其中，还包括较小的食品供应商，如农贸市场、合作社、农场摊位和社区支持的农业运营。这种方法可能会改变识别食物沙漠的方法，而不是仅仅使用开车时间和距离到达满足最小平方英尺的食品供应商。我们提出了一种方法，可以计算与不同类型食品供应商的距离，也可以评估消费者是否有机会获得更健康的食品选择。
There is generally consensus regarding the methodology used to identify and visualize food deserts in urban centers, and to a lesser extent those in rural communities. The primary factor in food desert mapping, however, is distance to food provider without regard for the nutritional value of the food itself. The purpose of this paper is to offer a broader approach toward refining the food desert concept by incorporating a qualitative ranking of food providers based on the likelihood that they offer healthier food options. We apply this technique to Rutland County in rural Vermont by incorporating traditional grocery stores, supermarkets, big-box stores, general stores, and gas stations, and also including smaller food providers such as farmers' markets, co-ops, farm stands, and community supported agriculture operations. This approach could shift the methodology of identifying food deserts away from just using driving time and distance traveled to food providers meeting a minimum square footage. We propose a methodology that calculates distance to different types of food providers that also evaluates whether consumers have access to healthier food options.
