An innovative food and nutrition project is uniquely combining artificial intelligence (AI) and social enterprise business models to help address the challenge of food deserts in the U.S. These are places across the country where supermarkets are more than one mile away in urban neighborhoods or 10 miles away in rural communities. Residents in these places often turn to nearby mini-marts and fast-food stands where food items can be more expensive and/or less healthy. To address this problem, the new project aims to develop an AI-powered platform called NOURISH which will help small business owners in food deserts provide convenient, affordable and healthier food resources to people in their communities.
