“How Will Trump's Tariffs Affect Grocery Store Prices? We Explain”
By: USA Today – May 5, 2025
"The short answer is yes, prices are going to go up. They may not skyrocket for all imported products, but they will go up. Tariffs are a tax on imports, so by definition, they are inflationary."

“Why Do Shrimpers Like Tariffs?”
By: NPR - May 7, 2025
“You're going to drive up prices, and you're going to drive down seafood consumption. And that's going to be bad for cardiovascular health and, overall, the health of Americans.”

“Why Donald Trump’s Trade Tariffs Are a Threat to Global Food Security”
By: The Conversation – May 1, 2025
“Donald Trump’s tariffs will make many things more expensive for his fellow US citizens. The price of imported cars, building materials and some tech will go up – and so will the cost of the food on American dining tables. The US currently imports around 16% of its food supply, with a large proportion of its fruit and vegetables coming from countries now hit by tariffs.”

“Tennessee Farmers, Consumers Expected to Feel Trump's Tariffs”
By: Public News Service – May 7, 2025
“Ultimately, the goal of tariffs is to incentivize domestic production and disincentivize imports — in other words, to reduce international trade. But this is a mistake. International trade is a means by which you can consume beyond your ability to produce. It’s good for an individual. It’s good for a city, it’s good for a state and, of course, it’s good for a country.”

“WVU Student Researches Household Resiliency”
By: The Inter-Mountain – March 29, 2025
“I chose to explore the influence of household structure on climate resilience because, despite its significance for policy, it remains an understudied area in research. Effective climate adaptation strategies require resources for successful implementation. Since different family structures provide varying support mechanisms, it is crucial to examine how household decision-making shapes adaptation to climate change and its impact on food security. Understanding these dynamics will help inform targeted policies that enhance resilience and food security in vulnerable communities”

“Rice Looks For its Niche as a Malted Grain”
By: High Plains Journal – May 4, 2025
“I was surprised of the feasibility study on malted rice. When we started this, I thought there’s no way this is going to work. How long have humans been drinking beer, and how long has rice been around? The economist in me thought, well if this would have worked, they would have done it 400 years ago! But I guess it took lightning in a bottle with Scott and Bernardo to put two and two together to figure this out, because this could work.”

“Tariffs Won’t Just Hit Your Wallet. They Could Also Increase Food Waste”
By: Good Men Project – May 6, 2025
“We rely on imports, from Mexico in particular, on things like fresh fruit and vegetables in order to meet year-round consumer demand. Tariffs have the potential to send those prices soaring by raising the cost of production. But the lack of clarity around U.S. trade relations is already impacting operations in the food and beverage industry. There’s so much uncertainty, you don’t know how to operate your business and you don’t know how to plan for it,” said Torrens. “If you knew what the new reality was, you’d adapt to it.”
“I think tariffs are a bit of a supply chain disruption,” not unlike the ones felt during the pandemic. The trouble stems from the fact that fruit and vegetables are highly perishable.

“The Pork Industry Asks Congress to Overturn Prop. 12, a Divisive Animal Welfare Law, Yet Again”
By: Civil Eats – May 6, 2025
“If the average 20 percent jump is accurate, the price disruption would also likely be higher at the start, since costs to upgrade housing for pigs, for instance, occur once at the beginning of the process and markets need time to adjust. You would expect the immediate shock and then a bit of a decay as things adjust and you spread costs over more product.”
“It also was not a peer-reviewed study. The data acted in a strange way that warranted additional scrutiny. He published it because it was the only data available.”

“If You Really Want to Close the US Trade Deficit, Try Boosting Innovation in Rural Manufacturing”
By: The Conversation – May 12, 2025
“President Donald Trump has long been preoccupied by the trade deficit — the gap between what the U.S. sells to the rest of the world and what it buys from it. He recently declared the issue a national emergency and used trade deficit data to calculate so-called “reciprocal tariffs” targeting nearly 100 countries. Although those specific tariffs are now on pause, Trump’s concern with the trade deficit persists.”
