The 4 'A's of Food Access is a useful schemata for understanding food access or the barriers to food access.
Availability
If you don't have physical access to food, you really can't have it.
Affordability
If you don't have the means of exchange for food, you still can't have it. Usually this refers simply to choices being limited by low incomes .
Awareness
If you don't have particular sets of skills and knowledge your access to food will be limited, e.g. how to prepare and cook food, knowing where to find it, understanding what is seasonal and perhaps more readily available, or cheaper.
Acceptability
This refers to a range of individual, social, and cultural reasons for food choice. While an individual's preferences for one food over another might have a degree of flexibility, social norms are harder to change, while religious rules around food and drink are often fixed.
Note. The origins of this schemata were laid out in "Making Fruit and Vegetables the Easy Choice"( Davies, S. et al, 1999) - a proposal to Department of Health for a 5 A DAY pilot project to address food accessibility in Hastings and St Leonards in East Sussex.

Who has access to certain kinds of food and who does not?
Access to certain kinds of food is often influenced by socioeconomic status, geography, and cultural factors. Wealthier individuals and communities tend to have better access to a variety of nutritious foods, while marginalized populations may face food deserts with limited options. Additionally, systemic issues, such as government policies and agricultural practices, can further exacerbate disparities in food access. As a result, food insecurity is a pressing issue for many around the world.
What are the various types of food deserts and how do they impact access to nutritious food in different communities?
Food deserts are areas with limited access to affordable and nutritious food. There are different types of food deserts, including urban, rural, and tribal. Urban food deserts are found in cities with few grocery stores, while rural food deserts are in remote areas with limited transportation. Tribal food deserts are on Native American reservations with limited resources. These food deserts impact communities by making it difficult to access healthy food, leading to higher rates of obesity and chronic diseases.
