What can be done to address these issues?

Addressing these issues requires policies that promote equitable resource distribution, community engagement, and investment in underserved areas.

Are there any successful initiatives that have tackled this?

Yes, initiatives like community gardens and urban farming projects have successfully improved access to fresh food in low-income areas, promoting both sustainability and social equity.
