    Dollar Stores and Food Deserts in DeKalb County with Commissioner Lorraine Cochran-Johnson

    What do you know about DOLLAR STORES? Although they're pitched as a solution to food deserts, too many in one area may actually create them -- and increase crime at the same time. DeKalb County Commissioner Lorraine CochranJohnson joins Farmers Jam Radio to share her work towards ending food deserts and reducing crime by banning the creation of new dollar stores. Fascinating insight! Of course, we loved learning about the new urban farm in DeKalb County.
