The Senate Improving Access to Healthy Foods and Ending Food Deserts Study Committee (the “Study Committee”) was created by 2021 Senate Resolution 283 to: (A) determine how many Georgians live in food deserts and where food deserts are located; (B) examine local, state, and national policies which address food deserts; (C) examine the economic impact food deserts have on this state's economy; (D) examine any changes that should be made to this state's tax and economic policies to combat food deserts; and (E) examine how this state can assist local governments as they attempt to eradicate food deserts. Results of the study can be found at this link: https://www.senate.ga.gov/committees/Documents/FoodDesertsFinalReport2021.pdf
