Tab sis qhov tiag kick-in-the-pants yog ib tug ua ke Kroger-Albertsons yog yuav paug muaj zaub mov deserts nyob rau hauv cov nroog tsis zoo, yog ib qho kev sib tw loj hauv lub tebchaws. Thiab qhov kev pheej hmoo no ib leeg yuav tsum ua rau cov neeg tswj hwm rov xav txog cov kev sib koom ua ke loj thiab cuam tshuam cov plaub muag ntawm cov lus cog tseg uas koom ua ke cov tuam txhab ua - txog tus nqi qis, kev lag luam ntawm nplai, txhawb kev sib tw, thiab lwm yam.

Pw Lub Hauv Paus Rau Ib Tug Suab puam

Tom qab tag nrho, ua ke Kroger-Albertsons (Krolbertsons?) yuav tswj tau ze li ntawm ib feem tsib ntawm US khw muag khoom noj, Tus Saib Xyuas kwv yees. Hauv kev lag luam uas ob lub khw muag khoom lag luam ua lag luam, cov lej yuav siab dhau los dhau muster nrog tsoomfwv cov tswj hwm uas yuav xav tau cov saw hlau kom tshem tawm ntau qhov chaw.

Kom paub meej, raws li cov khoom qab zib ua ntej, Kroger thiab Albertsons tau hais tias lawv npaj yuav muag qee lub khw rau cov neeg sib tw, thiab yuav xav txog. spinning tawm 100 mus rau 375 lub khw mus rau hauv ib lub tuam txhab cais, raws li New York TimesNYT
.

Txawm li cas los xij, qhov no, keeb kwm qhia, yog ib txoj hauv kev noj zaub mov deserts pib.

Amanda Starbuck, tus kws tshuaj ntsuam xyuas txoj cai ntawm Food & Water Watch, "Kev sib koom ua lag luam hauv tsev loj tau tsav tawm me me, niam-thiab-pop cov khw muag khoom noj thiab cov saw hauv cheeb tsam," hais rau Tus Saib Xyuas hauv 2021. "Peb muaj kwv yees li ib feem peb ntawm cov khw muag khoom noj hnub no tsawg dua li peb tau ua 25 xyoo dhau los, raws li US census bureau."

Tab sis dab tsi yog cov zaub mov deserts? Cov suab puam zaub mov yog thaj chaw uas tsis muaj kev xaiv yooj yim rau cov khoom noj muaj txiaj ntsig, noj qab nyob zoo, suav nrog txiv hmab txiv ntoo tshiab thiab zaub. Lawv nyiam nyob hauv cov zej zog txom nyem thiab ua rau nyuaj rau cov tsev neeg, cov menyuam yaus, tshwj xeeb, kom muaj kev noj qab haus huv thiab kev loj hlob.

Ntawm cov kev txhawj xeeb txog kev noj qab haus huv thiab kev nyab xeeb tshwm sim los ntawm kev noj zaub mov tsis muaj kev xaiv noj qab haus huv: Cov neeg uas nyob hauv cov suab puam zaub mov yog nyob ntawm Heightened Risk rau kev rog rog, ntshav qab zib thiab kab mob plawv, Science Daily reports.

Thiab ze li ntawm 39.5 lab tus tib neeg tau nyob hauv thaj chaw noj zaub mov qis hauv xyoo 2017, raws li USDA qhov tsis ntev los no. kev tshawb fawb txog zaub mov.

Qee Keeb Kwm Txog Kev Sib Koom Tes Thiab Khoom Noj Deserts

Ntawm cov kev sib koom ua lag luam loj loj uas tau ua lub luag haujlwm hauv kev tsim qee cov zaub mov pov tseg no yog ib qho cuam tshuam nrog Albertsons, raws li tau sau tseg hauv nws qhov kev yuav khoom ntawm Safeway hauv 2015.

Txhawm rau kom tau txais kev pom zoo los ntawm tsoomfwv cov tswj hwm, Albertsons thiab Safeway yuav tsum tau tshem tawm 168 qhov chaw nyob rau sab hnub poob. Ib lub saw me me hu ua Haggen Foods & Pharmacy tau yuav 146 ntawm lawv.

Txawm li cas los xij, Haggen yog "woefully underequipped"rau txoj haujlwm ntawm kev txhim kho ntau lub khw muag khoom, thiab tau thov kev tiv thaiv kev lag luam hauv ib xyoos, American Prospect tau tshaj tawm. Ntxiv rau qhov kev kaw lub khw cuam tshuam txog qhov ua tsis tiav, Albertsons tau kaw tsawg kawg 160 lub khw muag khoom ntxiv thoob tebchaws, tom qab kev sib koom ua ke. Qhov no ua rau muaj kev poob haujlwm loj thiab ua rau cov lag luam nyob ze, xeev ib tsab ntawv ceeb toom los ntawm Colorado Trust.

Nws yog qhov tsim nyog los cia siab tias ntawm 100 txog 375 lub khw Kroger thiab Albertsons muab rau tig tawm, tus lej zoo yuav tsaus rau qhov zoo.

Raws li Stacy Mitchell, tus thawj coj ua haujlwm ntawm lub koom haum non-profit lub koom haum rau Kev Ntseeg Tus Kheej Hauv Zos, hais rau Tus Saib Xyuas: "Nws muaj feem ntau yog tias [qhov kev sib koom ua ke] mus dhau nws yuav ua rau ntau lub zej zog tsis muaj lub khw muag khoom noj."

Nws yog Lub Sijhawm Tsim Kho Rau Tag kis, Cov khw muag khoom tsis yog khoom noj

Tsuas yog.

Yuav ua li cas yog tias cov tub lag luam uas tsis yog khoom noj khoom haus, los ntawm cov nyiaj daus las thiab cov khw muag khoom yooj yim mus rau cov khw muag khoom thiab Kev Pabcuam Tub Rog, tau nqis los rau hauv cov zej zog suab puam no los muab cov zaub mov noj qab haus huv (tsis yog zaub mov khib nyiab) cov tsev neeg xav tau?

cov Salvation Army tau ua qhov no, hauv Baltimore, Khoom noj khoom haus Dive qhia. Thiab cov khw muag khoom yooj yim suav nrog 7-Eleven tau nthuav dav lawv cov kev xaiv noj qab haus huv hauv cov khw xaiv. Ditto rau nyiaj duas chains, xws li Family Dollar thiab Dollar GeneralDG
, CNN tau tshaj tawm.

Ntxiv rau qhov qhib qhov chaw nyob ze cov tsev kawm ntawv qib siab thiab cov cheeb tsam tom ntej, cov khw muag khoom tuaj yeem ua haujlwm nrog cov neeg ua haujlwm hauv xeev thiab hauv zos los qhib cov khw muag khoom hauv cov zej zog uas muaj kev nyuaj siab.

Txawm li cas los xij, muaj qee qhov kev saib xyuas:

1. Kev lag luam hauv av. Hauv xyoo 2015 Safeway deal, Albertsons tuav rau qhov kev xauj tsev tsawg kawg yog ib qho khoom kaw, tiv thaiv kev sib tw los ntawm kev nkag mus rau hauv kev ua lag luam, Colorado Trust qhia. Regulators yuav tsum xav tau muag khoom ntawm cov khoom los muab kev xaiv rau cov neeg yuav khoom. Kroger thiab Albertsons tuaj yeem txiav txim siab ntxiv qhov chaw pop-up nyob rau hauv cov chaw so, muag tawm cov khoom tsis zoo thiab cov khoom lag luam, kom txo cov khoom noj khoom haus. (Kroger pub zaub mov tshiab rau cov koom haum hauv zos tam sim no.)
2. Poob ntawm innovation. Cov tub lag luam uas nkag mus rau hauv kev lag luam tawm los ntawm Kroger-Albertsons yuav tsum pom qhov kev txav mus los ua thawj kauj ruam mus rau kev hloov pauv hauv tsev loj. Los ntawm kev sib tw, lawv yuav ua kom cov saw loj xws li Kroger thiab Albertsons txuas ntxiv mus nrhiav txoj hauv kev los txhim kho cov neeg yuav khoom, thiab tsis muaj rog, nqi zog thiab tub nkeeg.
3. Poob ntawm kev sib tham lub zog. Thaum ib lub saw hlau tswj hwm ib feem loj ntawm lub khw muag khoom noj, nws tuaj yeem ua rau nws cov neeg muag khoom - los ntawm Procter & GamblePG
   rau tsev neeg ua liaj ua teb - kom them tsawg dua rau cov khoom lawv muag. Cov neeg muag khoom no, dhau los, yuav them cov tub lag luam me thiab ywj pheej ntau dua. Thiab cov tub lag luam no dhau tus nqi rau cov neeg yuav khoom. Kev hloov pauv tus nqi nce los ntawm cov zaub mov noj qab haus huv mus rau cov khoom tsis tseem ceeb, xws li tshuaj pleev ib ce, tsawg kawg ua kom cov tsev neeg muaj peev xwm them taus mus yuav khoom noj khoom haus.

Yog tias tsoomfwv tswj hwm pom zoo, Kroger-Albertsons qhov kev pom zoo yuav tsum kaw rau xyoo 2024. Qhov ntawd ua rau cov khw muag khoom, cov tswj hwm thiab cov zej zog tsawg dua ob xyoos los ua kom cov lus pom zoo ua haujlwm rau txhua tus, suav nrog cov tsev neeg tau nyiaj tsawg thiab cov neeg ua haujlwm muag khoom.

Peb yuav tsum hais tam sim no rau qhov kev pom zoo uas txhawb nqa txhua tus, tsis yog tsuas yog cov tub ua lag luam thiab cov thawj coj ua lag luam.
