This $800,000 Project Grant was awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program. The project aims to identify the key factors driving recent sharp increases in U.S. food prices, including disruptions in supply chains and changes in consumer demand. The University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. will lead the project, which will involve collecting detailed food price data from thousands of stores nationwide and using advanced analytics to determine the relative contributions of supply and demand factors to food price inflation in different regions. The goal is to provide policymakers with actionable insights to help stabilize food prices and improve food security. As part of this effort, the University of Georgia Research Foundation has subcontracted with the Louisiana State University Agricultural Center to study the policy implications of the identified supply and demand drivers of food price inflation.
