Why higher food prices could be here to stay
By: Quartz - September 13, 2022
Production costs are estimated to reach $437 billion, up 11% from last year, with fertilizers, which are energy-intensive to manufacture, and pesticides experiencing some of the biggest price increases. Some of this is driven by the Russia-Ukraine war, which has disrupted grain and natural gas shipments. Russia is also a major producer of fertilizers, which may be affected by sanctions.

How Drought and War Are Really Affecting the Global Food Supply
By: Wired - September 7, 2022
With fall harvests coming, it’s natural to be concerned about global food supplies. But people who track the production and trade of major crops say the world is not in an emergency—yet. Pick any location, and you may find signs of strain. But overall, the system still shows resilience.

The political economy of trade protection: Evidence from the 2020 US presidential election
By: VoxEU - September 15, 2022
In addition, trade policies also commonly trigger a chain reaction – a country uses subsidies and/or countervailing duties in response to another country’s trade policies. The recent US-China trade war episode and the 2020 US presidential election provide a unique opportunity to investigate the political economy of trade protection.

Food costs up 10% in a year, but immigration reform might help, some experts say
By: The National Desk - September 8, 2022
If farmers can gain access to a steady and reliable supply of workers, they would face less pressure to raise food prices,” Professor Alejandro Gutierrez-Li, a labor economist at North Carolina State University said via email to The National Desk. “However, it is important to keep in mind that the price of other production inputs has recently gone up as well, like fuel, transportation, and fertilizers. The final prices that consumers pay at the grocery store are impacted by labor availability and other costs incurred by farmers.”

Inflation may have reduced food waste, but food banks worry about lower donation supply
By: Waste Dive - September 12, 2022
However, recent research suggests the biggest motivator preventing food waste during inflationary periods is simply the drive to save money, said Brenna Ellison, an associate professor in Purdue University’s Department of Agricultural Economics. “Even though a lot of people talk about the environmental effects, realistically the wallet is what changes food waste behavior.”

Study Examines Food Buying Behavior at Other Stages of the COVID-19 Pandemic
By: Farmers Advance & Receive News - August 31, 2022
Ocepek worked with Brenna Ellison, a former Illinois professor of agriculture and economics who is now at Purdue University, and Maria Kalaitzandonakes, a doctoral student in agriculture and economics from Illinois. The researchers reported their findings in the journal PLOS ONE.
The survey results indicate a rising class of hybrid shoppers who buy food both in person and online, with online shopping a complement rather than a substitute for in person shopping, Ellison said. Grocers will need to examine their marketing strategies and engage with consumers in a way that gets them to shop with the company for both experiences, she said.

Why Ethanol Plants Pollute More Than Oil Refineries
By: Newsmax - September 8, 2022
The Purdue model is led by Dr. Farzad Taheripour, a researcher and professor of agricultural economics. Taheripour said the model was modified over time to reflect real-world observations of how biofuels production has affected land use. For instance, early scholarship on ethanol regulation suggested the RFS would lead to deforestation, which did not occur, he said.

Survey details political division in American views on food inflation
By: Feedstuffs - September 14, 2022
"The divergent perceptions of food inflation between liberals and conservatives is interesting to observe," said Jayson Lusk, the head and distinguished professor of agricultural economics at Purdue, who leads the center. "Not only are liberals severely underestimating the increase in food prices from last year, but conservatives' expectations for inflation are also likely overstating its rate for the coming year — at least compared to U.S. Department of Agriculture predictions."

US asks farmers: Can you plant 2 crops instead of 1?
By: AP News - August 30, 2022
Ultimately, the biggest factor behind whether farmers begin growing an extra crop of wheat is what price they can get for the crop, said Pat Westhoff, director of the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute at the University of Missouri. Although prices have dropped from the peaks soon after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, they remain at the still profitable level of nearly $8 a bushel.

What Potential Surprises Should You Watch in USDA'S Crop Report Monday?
By: Ag Web - September 9, 2022
“This report is going to be huge with respect to yield,” says Jim Mintert, professor at Purdue University and director Center for Commercial Agriculture “I think a lot of people are expecting the corn yield number to come down, the question is going to be how much.”
“One of the issues that has been talked a lot is what are the grain stocks that China may have? And how are those going to be released,” says Ariana Torres, associate professor of Agricultural Economics with Purdue University. “Also, what is that transparency that China may have to release those grain socks or oil?”

No-Till Practices Can Help Boost Farmland Value
By: Modern Farmer - September 11, 2022
“This study suggests that farmland benefits translate into land value benefits, which is typically not considered in debates on no-till pros and cons, and, ultimately, whether or not conventional-till farmers should convert to no-till practices,” said Rod Rejesus, professor of agricultural and resource economics at NC State and corresponding author of the paper, in describing the research.

One-third of food produced in the US goes to waste—here’s how that impacts the environment

According to Brian Roe, professor and faculty lead at the Ohio State Food Waste Collaborative, the average American family can put thousands of dollars of food in the trash each year.
An American Journal of Agricultural Economics study published in 2020 found the loss to be $240 billion in total in homes nationally, breaking down to $1,866 per household—though based on the most current U.S. Census’ findings of the total number of U.S. households, that figure is closer to $1,961 per household.
