Distribution Models for Local Food. http://www.cias.wisc.edu/uncategorized/distribution-models-for-local-food/ With support from the Ira and Ineva Reilly Baldwin Wisconsin Idea Endowment, Center for Integrated Agricultural Systems is researching distribution models for local food. Across the United States, entrepreneurs, cooperatives and nonprofits are filling an important missing link in local food systems: aggregating food from local farms and distributing it to stores, restaurants, eaters and other retailers and end users. We have created a map of some of these distribution models. Go to the full-sized map for a list of the models and detailed descriptions.

U.S. Food Market Estimator. http://www.ctre.iastate.edu/marketsize/ Funded, reviewed and published by the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture at Iowa State University. Developed and hosted by the Center for Transportation Research and Education at ISU.
The U.S. Food Market Estimator is designed to help users determine the potential demand, by county in the United States, for more than 200 different food items. This is an expansive tool, using data collected each year by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service (ERS).
The tool provides information for 204 food products, including various dairy and meat products, fruit, vegetables and grains. Users select how they want results to be shown: by number of servings, pounds produced, truckloads transported, even cubic feet of warehouse space needed to store a particular product. Products can be shown individually, or as groups of products at key stages of the food supply chain. Results can be adjusted to reflect a particular market share, or the unit of measure changed from pounds to other units in order to suit a variety of needs such as number of servings, truckloads per day or cubic feet of warehousing needed each week.

Where do your fresh fruits and vegetables come from? Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture. http://www.leopold.iastate.edu/resources/fruitveg/fruitveg.php This resource shows common origins of more than 95 different produce commodities that are shipped into or across the United States each year.
