explains that food deserts developed because of how the United States government prioritizes its subsidies. The government began subsiding the agricultural business in the 1930s to support farmers through the Great Depression. Currently, the subsidies benefit agribusinesses, not family farms. Moreover, 70 % of agriculture subsidies go to 10 % of farms. It is politically beneficial for lawmakers to pass subsidy budgets that favor large corporations who grow grains for processed foods.
