VIDEO: WVU supply chain students tackle state food desert

A group of West Virginia University students is addressing the growing problem of “food deserts” in the state, as the combination of a declining rural population and below average income have left many West Virginians living significant distances from supermarkets and reliable food sources. That project, as Associate Professor John Saldanha explains in the latest edition of Inside WVU today, may not only help with West Virginia’s food access problem, but may also address the problem on a global scale.
