More and more frequently so called neighbourhood shopping (grocery retailing) unveils supply gaps or even food deserts. This development can be especially observed in rural areas which have even lost a tremendous part of their retailing infrastructure over the last years because of demographic change. Normally supermarkets, discount stores and village shops are identified as solutions against this thinning out process which only serve traditional planning and policy principles and profit-orientated perspectives of the real estate industry, developers, retail suppliers and municipalities. Neither do these agents challenge the traditional understanding of local supply, nor do they ask if this concept of local supply produces (new) losers and who they are. The food desert concept origi-nally from GB and the USA which is more or less unknown in Germany wants to give answers on these questions. This concept will be transferred onto a comprehensive and systematic analysis for the German province of Schleswig-Holstein so that alternatives for grocery retailing beyond the well-known supermarket and discount worlds can be tested.

越来越多的所谓的邻里购物（杂货零售）揭示了供应缺口，甚至食物沙漠。这种发展在农村地区尤其明显，过去几年，由于人口变化，农村地区甚至失去了大部分零售基础设施。通常，超市、折扣店和乡村商店被认为是应对这种稀疏化进程的解决方案，这种稀疏化进程只服务于传统的规划和政策原则，以及真实的房地产行业、开发商、零售供应商和市政当局以利润为导向的观点。这些代理人既没有挑战对当地供应的传统理解，也没有问这种当地供应的概念是否会产生（新的）输家以及他们是谁。食物沙漠的概念起源于英国和美国，在德国或多或少还不为人所知，它试图回答这些问题。这一概念将被转移到对德国石勒苏益格-荷尔斯泰因省的全面和系统的分析中，以便可以测试知名超市和折扣世界之外的杂货零售替代品。
