NEOLOGISM
food desert
context: "...there tend to be more diet-related deaths in places where 'fringe' retailers accept food stamps. Fringe retailers ... are those shops that specialize in food high in salt, fat and sugar, plus non-food items such as fizzy drinks. ... food stamps are supposed to protect the poor from malnutrition, not make them ill" Cf. The Economist "America's food deserts" print ed 29 Oct 2011
explanation: a food desert is a (usually urban) area whose (usually U.S. American) inhabitants have little access to fresh food as a consequence of predatory capitalism, whereby corporate-friendly zoning, market deregulation, and estate prices make it profitable for fringe retailers such as gas stations, franchised fry pits, and dollar stores to sell snacks -- instead of grocers to open shop or local farmers to market produce. The corporate-driven absence of safe bicycle paths, usable buses, and subway systems immobilizes low-income residents, locking them down in housing within food deserts. In Climate Philosophy, we can conceive of U.S. food deserts as emblematic of the market-driven global changes to come.
ANOTHER NEOLOGISM
the solutions generation
context: "In 'empty world' times of resource abundance, competition is favored. The great acceleration powered by abundant fossil fuels favored individualism, competition, and greed-based capitalism. The coming 'full world' will favor cooperation and networking." cf. R. Constanza "needed: the solution generations" Solutions 28 Oct 2011
