Growth in the number of establishments that predominantly offer fresh or minimally processed foods, over a period of 1 year (%)
Definition
Annual percentage change in the number of establishments that predominantly offer (50% or more of the items) natural foods, estimated based on projections for two periods: 2016 and 2023. The Brazilian initiative mapped vendors in 91 municipalities with more than 300,000 inhabitants.
Interpretation
This projection may raise concerns about areas where growth is insufficient to guarantee access to healthy food.
