Appendix Files: Quantifying Agrifood Production and Consumption at the U.S. Metropolitan and County Level to Inform Urban Food System Interventions

These are the appendix files for the thesis: Quantifying Agrifood Production and Consumption at the U.S. Metropolitan and County Level to Inform Urban Food System Interventions (Peter Nixon 2021). These files detail county-level agrifood production, demand, and the current local capacity for all major agrifoods in the U.S. Diet, as well as the qualitative guidelines for how food item & ingredient descriptions were used to classify food components as "fresh or minimally processed", "potentially fresh or minimally processed", and "processed". All production data from 2012, demand data derived from the 2005-2010 What We Eat In America/National Health And Nutrition Examination and Survey (NAHNES) harmonized dataset.
