Internal staff analyses are conducted for the Administration, Congress, or the Department of Agriculture. Objectives: a) determine the types of foods that U.S. Households purchase by demographic segment with specific focus on low-income households and how they differ from other demographic groups. b) identify what price households pay for foods purchased and how household demographics, including income, affect prices paid and quantities purchased. c) assess how food assistance-eligible households differ in the food choices they make and the prices that they pay for food. d) identify differences in food prices across markets in the U.S. and analyze the impact the increasing number of alternative retail outlets for food on food prices and accessibility. e) investigate the effect of different tastes and preferences across households on food demand. f) measure the impact of consumer food purchasing behavior on food prices, accessibility, services and assortment. g) compare measures of food purchase behavior to measures of food consumption behavior in the Consumer Expenditure Survey. h) investigate the impact of the increasing number of value added food products on food marketing firms and agricultural producers.
