Insufficient food is a hardship faced by many U.S. households. Several U.S. social safety net programs aim to improve these households’ food conditions. In this paper I examine effects of the 2021 expanded child tax credit on food insufficiency. I use a difference-in-differences design to assess the heterogeneous impacts of the credit’s monthly cash transfers to households with children. I find suggestive evidence that highlights the value of heterogeneity in policy evaluation and allows me to comment on the targeting of the policy and further policy implications. I find the payments significantly decreased self-reported food insufficiency for treated households relative to the control with larger effects for low-income, Black, Hispanic, low-education, and single-parent households. Additionally, households interacting with less accessible Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Programs saw larger effects of the payments than those with more accessible programs. Households facing a higher cost of living also saw larger food insufficiency effects than those facing a lower price level. I contribute to the literatures on the effects of cash transfers on food sufficiency and on the heterogeneous effects of government policies.
食物不足是许多美国家庭面临的难题。美国的几个社会安全网项目旨在改善这些家庭的食物状况。在本文中,我研究了2021年扩大的儿童税收抵免对食物不足的影响。我使用差异中之差设计来评估每月向有孩子的家庭提供现金补助的异质性影响。我发现了一些具有启发性的证据,这些证据突出了政策评估中异质性的价值,并使我能够对政策的目标和进一步的政策影响发表评论。我发现,与对照组相比,接受治疗的家庭自我报告的食物不足明显减少,对低收入、黑人、西班牙裔、低教育程度和单亲家庭的影响更大。此外,与那些更容易获得补充营养援助计划的家庭相比,与不易获得补充营养援助计划互动的家庭看到了更大的影响。生活成本较高的家庭也比物价水平较低的家庭受到更大的粮食不足影响。我对现金转移对粮食充足性的影响以及政府政策的异质效应的文献做出了贡献。

Public perceptions of land-policy-for-local-food goals: findings from a discrete choice experiment study 公众对土地政策换地方食物目标的看法:一项离散选择实验研究的结果
IF 6 1区 经济学 Q1 AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS & POLICY Pub Date : 2026-01-01 Epub Date: 2025-12-08 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodpol.2025.103012

Over the last decade, the relocation of food supplies has gained relevance in many developed countries. Additionally, the literature on local food systems has shed light on the strategic role of land use control and public regulation of access to farmland in the emergence of pioneering initiatives. Yet a deeper understanding of what contributes to citizen support is essential for local policymakers to achieve land policy goals aimed at promoting local food production. This study draws on a discrete choice experiment to examine public preferences for policy packages involving specific targets for farmland uses and land regulation instruments (including a financial contribution). The survey was conducted to a sample of 700 residents living in France the Isère département. The econometric analysis identified two distinct groups with contrasting preferences. A minority living far from the urban centre, despite being indifferent to change, expressed a positive valuation of the planning of urban agriculture and of making use of public land for cultivation of field vegetables. This scenario echoes actions taken by some municipalities to offer locally produced food in school canteens. Conversely, people living in the urban centre or surrounding areas expressed preferences and high WTP for a proactive policy geared towards the use of public land for smaller farms and totally organic agriculture. This group is also found to place less value on planning. Overall, the policy scenarios envisioned by each group of citizens are consistent with their consumption behaviours. Research limitations and perspectives are then discussed.
在过去十年中,粮食供应的重新安置在许多发达国家已变得十分重要。此外,关于地方粮食系统的文献揭示了土地使用控制和对农田使用权的公共监管在开创性举措出现中的战略作用。然而,更深入地了解是什么促成了公民的支持,对于地方决策者实现旨在促进当地粮食生产的土地政策目标至关重要。本研究利用离散选择实验来检验公众对涉及农田使用具体目标和土地监管工具(包括财政捐助)的一揽子政策的偏好。这项调查对居住在法国的700名居民进行了抽样调查。计量经济学分析确定了两个具有不同偏好的不同群体。少数人住在远离城市中心的地方,尽管对变化漠不关心,但他们对城市农业的规划和利用公共土地种植野地蔬菜表示了积极的评价。这种情况与一些市政当局在学校食堂提供当地生产的食物的行动相呼应。相反,生活在城市中心或周边地区的人们对积极的政策表示偏好和高WTP,这些政策旨在将公共土地用于小型农场和完全有机农业。研究还发现,这一群体不太重视计划。总体而言,每组公民所设想的政策情景与他们的消费行为是一致的。然后讨论了研究的局限性和前景。

The role of location in private food assistance: client travel patterns and accessibility 地点在私人粮食援助中的作用:客户旅行模式和可及性
IF 6 1区 经济学 Q1 AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS & POLICY Pub Date : 2026-01-01 Epub Date: 2025-12-15 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodpol.2025.103029

We use cell phone location data to examine the social welfare impacts of spatial access to food pantries in the Southern Tier of New York State. Using weekly travel patterns of those living in census tracts identified as having high rates of food insecurity and the location and operating hours of pantries, we calculate the additional travel cost required to access a food pantry. Using this same method, we can examine the impact of relocating pantries or opening/closing pantries on social welfare. We find that strategically introducing new pantries in rural counties could improve welfare. Alternatively, urban counties appear to be much more affected by the limitations of current operating hours than by the geolocation of pantries.
我们使用手机定位数据来研究纽约州南部食品储藏室空间可及性对社会福利的影响。我们利用居住在人口普查区的人们的每周出行模式,以及食品储藏室的位置和营业时间,计算出进入食品储藏室所需的额外旅行成本。使用同样的方法,我们可以检查搬迁食品储藏室或开设/关闭食品储藏室对社会福利的影响。我们发现,战略性地在农村县引入新的食品储藏室可以改善福利。另外,城市县似乎更受当前营业时间限制的影响,而不是受食品储藏室地理位置的影响。

The 2024 farmers’ protests across Europe signaled widespread dissatisfaction in the agricultural sector. While low farm incomes and restrictive environmental regulations are commonly cited grievances, little is known about underlying motivations and individual farmers’ reasons for protesting. This study explores individual farmers’ protest motivations in Germany, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands to gain a deeper understanding of the diverse concerns shaping agricultural discontent across Europe. We analyze rich text data from 2232 farmers, collected through surveys using an open-ended question designed to elicit unprompted, top-of-mind protest reasons. By using a combination of hand and AI-assisted coding, we quantify protest reasons across countries, assess the emotional tone of farmers’ answers, and explore how this aligns with policy responses. Our findings indicate that farmers’ main protest reasons differ across the four countries, with German farmers mainly complaining about bureaucracy, French farmers about financial reasons, Belgian farmers expressing diverse complaints, while Dutch farmers focus mainly on the political environment. The emotional tone of farmers’ answers reveals that specific, targeted complaints are more often expressed in an annoyed angry tone, while broader topics seem to trigger aggressive anger. Linking farmers’ protest reasons to national and EU policy responses shows that, while some key complaints received adequate policy attention, environmental complaints were disproportionately prioritized by EU policymakers and some Member States. The findings from this study have important implications with the potential to improve the effectiveness of policy responses by contributing to the identification of adequate solutions to ease farmers’ grievances.
欧洲各地2024年的农民抗议活动表明,农业部门普遍存在不满情绪。虽然农民收入低和严格的环境法规是常见的不满,但人们对农民抗议的潜在动机和个人原因知之甚少。本研究探讨了德国、法国、比利时和荷兰的个体农民的抗议动机,以更深入地了解形成整个欧洲农业不满的各种问题。我们分析了2232位农民的富文本数据,这些数据是通过开放式问题调查收集的,旨在引出自发的、最重要的抗议原因。通过结合使用人工和人工智能辅助编码,我们量化了各国的抗议原因,评估了农民回答的情感基调,并探讨了这与政策反应的一致性。我们的研究结果表明,四个国家的农民的主要抗议原因不同,德国农民主要抱怨官僚主义,法国农民主要抱怨财政原因,比利时农民表达了不同的抱怨,而荷兰农民主要关注政治环境。农民回答的情感语气表明,具体的、有针对性的抱怨往往以一种恼火的语气表达,而更广泛的话题似乎会引发攻击性的愤怒。将农民的抗议原因与国家和欧盟的政策反应联系起来表明,虽然一些关键的投诉得到了足够的政策关注,但欧盟政策制定者和一些成员国不成比例地优先考虑环境投诉。本研究的结果具有重要意义,有助于找到缓解农民不满的适当解决方案,从而有可能提高政策应对的有效性。

Impacts of high-standard farmland construction on farmers’ income in China: A comparative analysis of moderate-scale farmers and smallholders 中国高标准农田建设对农民收入的影响——基于中等规模农户和小农的比较分析
IF 6 1区 经济学 Q1 AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS & POLICY Pub Date : 2026-01-01 Epub Date: 2025-11-05 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodpol.2025.102994

In order to ensure food security and increase agricultural productivity, the Chinese government has implemented the high-standard farmland construction (HSFC) project. However, it is still unknown whether it can effectively serve as a new pathway for increasing moderate-scale farmers' and smallholders' income. Therefore, this study utilizes 66,750 samples from the 2019–2022 National Rural Fixed Observation Points Survey data, and 2SLS results indicate that HSFC increases moderate-scale farmers' total, agricultural, and nonfarm income by 1.30%, 1.06%, and 1.99%. Among smallholders, total income and nonfarm income increases 0.19% and 0.35%, while agricultural income drops 0.78%. Mechanism evidence shows that HSFC affects household income via changes in land transfer, mechanization, hired-labor input, and participation in nonfarm work. A heterogeneity analysis shows that the income-increasing effect of HSFC is greater among farmers who are more educated, male, or younger. However, it is necessary to be vigilant that HSFC may widen the income gap between farmers. Therefore, alongside the expansion of HSFC, particular attention should be given to vulnerable groups, with targeted support in credit access, mechanization services, and technical training to ensure equitable access to benefits.
为保障粮食安全和提高农业生产力,中国政府实施了高标准农田建设工程。然而,它能否有效地为中小农户增收提供一条新的途径,仍然是一个未知数。因此,本研究利用2019-2022年全国农村固定观测点调查数据中的66,750个样本,2SLS结果表明,HSFC使中等规模农民的总收入、农业收入和非农收入分别增加了1.30%、1.06%和1.99%。小农总收入和非农收入分别增长0.19%和0.35%,农业收入下降0.78%。机制证据表明,农村农村发展通过土地流转、机械化、雇佣劳动力投入和非农工作参与的变化影响家庭收入。异质性分析表明,在受教育程度较高、男性或较年轻的农民中,HSFC增加收入的效果更大。然而,有必要警惕的是,HSFC可能会扩大农民之间的收入差距。因此,在扩大农村农村金融服务的同时,应特别关注弱势群体,在信贷获取、机械化服务和技术培训方面提供有针对性的支持,以确保公平获得福利。

Private food safety certifications have become increasingly popular in the global agri-food supply chain over the last three decades. We examine a fundamental yet unaddressed question of whether food safety certifications make our food system safer. Focusing on the U.S. processing industry for meat, poultry, and eggs, the most likely contaminated foods, we matched unique establishment-level food safety certification data collected over the period of 2015–2018 with the microbial testing data from the government for processing establishments. By applying a penalized maximum likelihood method to address the rare event problem in the data, we found that the certification to the British Retail Consortium food safety standard leads to a decrease in the probability of testing positive for Salmonella and Campylobacter by 0.3 and two percent, respectively, and the certification to Safe Quality Food standard leads to a decrease in the probability of testing positive for Campylobacter and Listeria by one and 0.4 percent, respectively. Our results provide justification for firms to adopt certifications and for governments to use certifications to augment and supplement government food safety regulation efforts.
在过去的三十年里,私人食品安全认证在全球农业食品供应链中越来越受欢迎。我们研究了一个基本的尚未解决的问题,即食品安全认证是否使我们的食品系统更安全。我们将2015-2018年期间收集的独特的企业食品安全认证数据与政府对加工企业的微生物检测数据相匹配,重点关注美国肉类、家禽和蛋类加工行业,这是最可能受到污染的食品。通过应用惩罚最大似然法来解决数据中的罕见事件问题,我们发现,获得英国零售协会食品安全标准认证后,沙门氏菌和弯曲杆菌检测阳性的概率分别降低了0.3%和2%,获得安全质量食品标准认证后,弯曲杆菌和李斯特菌检测阳性的概率分别降低了1%和0.4%。我们的研究结果为企业采用认证和政府使用认证来加强和补充政府食品安全监管工作提供了理由。

From endowment to engine: the rural innovation effects of China’s specialty agricultural industries 从禀赋到引擎:中国特色农业产业的农村创新效应
IF 6 1区 经济学 Q1 AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS & POLICY Pub Date : 2026-01-01 Epub Date: 2025-12-18 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodpol.2025.103031

The development of specialty agriculture plays a vital role in unlocking rural potential. However, the impact of policy-driven agricultural industrial cultivation on rural innovation has not been systematically examined. Using panel data from 1,805 Chinese counties between 2014 and 2021, this study treats the designation of China’s Agricultural Product Advantage Zones as a quasi-natural experiment and employs a multi-period difference-in-differences (DID) approach to empirically examine the impact of specialty agricultural industries on rural innovation. The results indicate that the development of specialty agricultural industries can significantly promote rural innovation. Further analysis confirms that specialty agricultural industries stimulate regional innovation elements by increasing government expenditure on science and education, expanding the scale of innovative entities, and improving the level of digital infrastructure—all of which contribute to enhanced rural innovation outcomes. Moreover, the development of digital inclusive finance further amplifies their innovation-enhancing effects. This study offers practical insights into how policy-driven specialty agricultural industries can stimulate innovation vitality, and provides a reference development pathway for other developing countries with agricultural-terroir advantages.
发展特色农业是释放农村潜力的重要途径。然而,政策驱动的农业产业化培育对农村创新的影响尚未得到系统研究。本研究利用2014 - 2021年中国1805个县域的面板数据,将中国农产品优势区划定作为准自然实验,采用多期差异中差异(DID)方法实证检验特色农业产业对农村创新的影响。研究结果表明,特色农业产业的发展对农村创新具有显著的促进作用。进一步分析证实,特色农业产业通过增加政府科教投入、扩大创新主体规模、提高数字基础设施水平等方式刺激区域创新要素,从而提升农村创新成果。此外,数字普惠金融的发展进一步放大了其创新促进作用。本研究为政策驱动的特色农业产业如何激发创新活力提供了实践见解,并为其他具有农业风土优势的发展中国家提供了可借鉴的发展路径。

The world’s food systems have changed considerably since the journal Food Policy launched 50 years ago. The journal has evolved along with both the issues most active in prevailing food policy discussions as well as with advances in the theories, methods, data, and evidentiary standards of the policy research community. This article introduces a 50th anniversary special issue, reviews the half-century-long evolution of the journal, and discusses what the patterns apparent therein signal about food policy issues more broadly.
自50年前《粮食政策》杂志创刊 以来,世界粮食系统发生了巨大变化。该杂志随着当前粮食政策讨论中最活跃的问题以及政策研究界在理论、方法、数据和证据标准方面的进步而发展。本文介绍了50周年纪念特刊,回顾了半个世纪以来该杂志的演变,并讨论了其中明显的模式在更广泛的粮食政策问题上所发出的信号。

Mitigating food security impacts from crisis in high-income countries: lessons from different contexts 减轻高收入国家危机对粮食安全的影响:来自不同背景的教训
IF 6 1区 经济学 Q1 AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS & POLICY Pub Date : 2025-11-01 Epub Date: 2025-10-30 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodpol.2025.102956

Recent global events, including COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war, have brought to light vulnerabilities in global food supply chains. As a result, domestic food security in crisis situations is increasingly a topic of concern even in high-income countries. However, to date, there is limited literature to inform crisis response policy for food security in high-income countries. At the same time, related strands of literature from other crisis and country contexts offer relevant policy conclusions to inform the evidence base and identify areas for future research. This article expands the scope of analysis to review five related bodies of work, with the major aim of identifying findings relevant for food security policy in high-income countries in crises. First, we consider analysis related to food security policy in general crises contexts from the 1) disaster risk management in food and agriculture and 2) food and agricultural supply chain resilience literatures. Then, we turn to country context-specific findings, reviewing 3) food security policy in crisis situations in low- and middle-income countries, 4) food security policy outside of crisis in high-income countries, and finishing with the major focus of our review on nascent literature related to 5) food security policy in crisis situations in high-income countries. The review concludes by highlighting common themes relevant to food security policy and identifying research gaps to be addressed by future work.
最近的全球事件,包括COVID-19和俄罗斯-乌克兰战争,暴露了全球粮食供应链的脆弱性。因此,即使在高收入国家,危机局势下的国内粮食安全也日益成为人们关注的话题。然而,迄今为止,为高收入国家粮食安全危机应对政策提供信息的文献有限。与此同时,来自其他危机和国家背景的相关文献提供了相关的政策结论,为证据基础提供信息,并确定未来研究的领域。本文扩大了分析范围,审查了五个相关的工作机构,其主要目的是确定与危机中高收入国家粮食安全政策相关的研究结果。首先,我们从1)粮食和农业灾害风险管理和2)粮食和农业供应链弹性文献中考虑与一般危机背景下的粮食安全政策相关的分析。然后,我们转向国家具体情况的研究结果,回顾3)低收入和中等收入国家危机情况下的粮食安全政策,4)高收入国家危机情况下的粮食安全政策,最后重点回顾与5)高收入国家危机情况下的粮食安全政策相关的新兴文献。报告最后强调了与粮食安全政策相关的共同主题,并确定了未来工作需要解决的研究差距。
