From the data described above we firmly conclude that food access in these impoverished areas of Lexington, Kentucky is not adequate. The project team agreed that “quality food” is generally measured by freshness, variety, cost efficiency, and nutritional value. The results of this study support that there is not adequate access to quality food in the two case study areas.

The residents in these areas face many barriers to access a wide selection food of high quality at reasonable prices. In addition to the absence of a large supermarket in both areas, barriers include inadequate public and private transportation, high costs at neighborhood convenience stores, and low levels of food education among residents.
