The Economic Research Service (ERS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture conducts high-quality, objective research to inform public and private decision making on economic and policy issues related to agriculture, food, the environment, and rural development. It develops the necessary data and information infrastructure to examine evolving policy questions. This presentation provides an overview of ERS data that can be used to address food and nutrition research questions; gives examples of ERS research using those data; and discusses how researchers can make use of ERS data or information products derived from ERS data.
