This study analyzed updated food loss estimates for fresh fruit,
vegetables, meat, poultry, and seafood obtained through a
competitive grant with the Perishables Group, Inc. The new
estimates were obtained for use in the ERS Loss-Adjusted Food
Availability data. They had little impact on per capita food loss
estimates because the new estimates are generally close to the
current loss assumptions. The new estimates would increase annual
per capita estimates at the retail level by 0.7 pounds (0.6
percent) for fresh fruit, 4.2 pounds (2.7 percent) for fresh
vegetables, and 4.8 pounds (2.7 percent) for fresh meat, poultry,
and seafood.
ERS's Food Assistance and Nutrition Research Program (FANRP)
supports intramural and extramural research on a wide range of
policy-relevant food assistance and nutrition topics. The three
perennial program themes are (1) diet and nutritional outcomes, (2)
food program targeting and delivery, and (3) program dynamics and
administration. The core food and nutrition assistance programs
include the Food Stamp Program, the child nutrition programs, and
the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and
Children (WIC). This report summarizes FANRP's activities and
accomplishments in fiscal 2007.
Economic Research Reports present original economic analysis,
findings, and implications primarily for public and private
decisionmakers' staff and researchers. The prevalence of poverty
has been greater in nonmetro areas than in metro areas in every
year since the 1960s when poverty rates were first officially
recorded. This study suggests that adjusting poverty measures to
account for cost-of-living differences between metro and nonmetro
areas reverses that ranking.
