Abstract: The evolving social movement in the United States around creating a healthier and more equitable food system has popularized grassroots initiatives such as farmers markets, community gardens, and farm-to-school projects-just to name a few. We argue that identifying structural inequities, such as housing access, that are intertwined with access to food will provide much needed evidence about how policymakers can best target their efforts. Specifically, the purpose of this research is to investigate the role that mortgage lending bias and historic redlining practices play in inequitable access to food in California. We conclude that without addressing structural inequities, the grassroots initiatives of the food movement will have a diminished effect.
