Thought + Food | a thoughtful look at the journey of food from the fields to the fork
Description: Food and Agricultural Economics
With the Center for Food Demand Analysis and Sustainability (CFDAS) at Purdue, we’ve been working on a project funded by the United Soybean Board and the Foundation for Food and Agricultural Research to explore the impacts of various investment alternatives on soy farmer profitability. To undertake the economic modeling, we need to understand consumer demand for a variety of soy-based foods, and the extent to which consumers are willing to substitute between soy-based foods and other products.
We’ve now released three short research reports on consumer demand for:
dairy, almond, oat, and soy-based “milks” (with Miyeon Son)
