Measurements of Food Insecurity Sample Clauses

Measurements of Food Insecurity. It was not until 1996 that the USDA began accumulating annual data on the state of “food access and adequacy, food spending and sources of food assistance.” This survey is presented as an 18-question supplement to the Current Population Survey (CPS) with questions presented as scenarios involving barriers to access food due to lack of money or other resources.6 Besides the USDA Economic Research Service (ERS), Feeding America also conducts research to learn more about the demographic profiles of those who are nutritionally disadvantaged.11 Feeding America’s (FA) estimates of food insecure individuals and families tend to be slightly higher than those of USDA because FA directly surveys clients of emergency food agencies and organizations.11 Beyond personal and household characteristics, the USDA ERS also geospatially measures food access across the nation. Some cities and towns across the nation have been given the moniker of “food desert.” A food deserts are defined by the USDA ERS as, “low-income areas where a significant number or share of residents is far from a supermarket, where ‘far’ is more than 1 mile in urban areas and more than 10 miles in rural areas”.12 In 2010, food access indicators using ½ - mile and 1-mile demarcations to the nearest supermarket for urban areas, 10- mile and 20-mile demarcations for rural areas, and vehicle availability estimates were mapped for all census tracts.13 According to the Food Access Research Atlas data, in 2010 low food access was high associated with low-income communities.13 Therefore, when designing food security initiatives among low- income populations, the social and geographical barriers to food access must be understood and considered.
