2021 than we are typically accustomed to seeing,” Grant said.

US households waste nearly a third of the food they acquire
By: Science Daily - January 23, 2020
This inefficiency in the food economy
has implications for health, food security, food marketing and climate
change, noted Edward Jaenicke, professor of agricultural economics,
College of Agricultural Sciences, Penn State.
In this novel approach, Jaenicke and
Yang Yu, doctoral candidate in agricultural, environmental and regional
economics, analyzed data primarily from 4,000 households that
participated in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Household

on funding and cooperation from the federal agency, according to Cornell
professors.
