English term or phrase: food desert
Definition from Cambridge Blog:
An area where there is little or no access to healthy food.

Example sentence(s):
  • These are also the groups most likely to live in food deserts, and researchers have established a strong correlation between food insecurity and increased diabetes rates. One study of Chicago neighborhoods found the death rate from diabetes in food deserts to be twice that of areas offering access to grocery stores, [14] while another conducted in California found that adults ages 50 and over from black and brown communities had double the diabetes rate of whites from the same age demographic. Food Is Power
  • Educating those in the community or tract of the food desert can help make changes, such as growing their own food and working with local convenience stores to sell healthier food options. Public awareness of food deserts can lead to healthy discourse and may even lead to ideas about how to end food deserts in America once and for all. Gardening Know-how
  • The key to getting food into food deserts is to make it as easy as possible for people to access fresh, healthy food. Shareable

Hungarian translation:élelmiszer-sivatag
Definition:
Az élelmiszer-sivatagoknak nevezzük azokat a régiókat, ahol a lakók nem tudnak friss és tápláló ételhez hozzájutni, hanem ezek helyett szinte kizárólag feldolgozott, olcsó élelmiszert fogyasztanak.

Example sentence(s):
  • Az "élelmiszer sivatagok" nevükkel ellentétben, nem üres polcokat vagy bezárt élelmiszerboltokat jelentenek. Éppen ellenkezőleg, a polcok roskadoznak a finomított élelmiszerek súlya alatt és minden sarkon gyorséttermek várják a falatozni vágyó embereket. Nem csoda, ha az ilyen területeken magas vérnyomás, magas koleszterin szint, köszvény, szívbetegség és más anyagcsere problémák társulnak a táplálkozáshoz. - LA VEGANISTA  
  • Élelmiszer-sivatagokat találunk Nagy-Britanniában mindenfelé, mezőgazdasági területeken éppúgy, mint városokban. "Nem arról van szó, hogy nincsenek élelmiszerüzletek – mondja a témával foglalkozó szociológus –, hanem, hogy ezekben nincs vagy alig van friss áru". - Ökotáj
