Americans spend billions of dollars in personal consumption expenditures each year. The percentage of FAH expenditures in the United States has been dwindling, while the percentage of FAFH expenditures has increased. Many factors might be causing this trend. Complex interactions of such factors determining the U.S. consumer’s intake of FAH and FAFH expenditures were studied using machine learning and Directed Acyclic Graphical approaches. Employment and education status are common causes of both FAH and FAFH expenditures. Body mass index, marital status, race and sex have mixed effects. Findings will be useful for policy makers to implement social support programs.

Economic simulations were performed to guide the planning and managing of additional pilot experiments in softshell blue crab grow-out to maximize harvests and improve profitability. The potential costs and benefits are weighed in advance before implementing any planned changes. In making these simulations, the current information on softshell blue crab production is used. Simulations initially considered the cost of juvenile crabs as produced by private hatcheries and nurseries. Additional simulations cover the impacts of increasing survival rates and stocking density. Finally, simulations of discounted net annual cash inflows incorporated the wholesale prices of blue softshell crabs in the Mid-Atlantic markets.

Local food systems (LFS) are often viewed as development pathways for local economies due to their ability to create a multiplier effect in an economy through a significant contribution to output and job creation. There is limited information on these impacts for Tennessee. Therefore, this study measures the gross economic contributions of Tennessee’s local food system using IMPLAN’s input-output model. Results show that LFS is a crucial component of Tennessee’s economy with an estimated total economic contribution of $37.5 billion. The region’s local food system directly employs more than 99,000 people and has an income multiplier of 2.56 and a value-added multiplier of 2.06.

We use a stochastic approach to assess the returns from blueberry production regarding observed blueberry price and yield variability. We extend the deterministic budget to stochastic by using triangular distribution and using Monte Carlo simulations. We use net present value (NPV) to assess and compare the returns. We observed disparity in the expected NPVs from two budget systems, and the chance of getting positive NPV studied under the stochastic budget was too low (23.85%–30.24%). This result shows the need for a stochastic approach to analyze growers’ profit, which helps making investment decisions. Moreover, this study is useful for farmers and farm risk analyzers.
