Through the Consumer Food Insight, CFDAS surveys 1,200 households from across the United States every month and tracks trends and changes in consumer food demand and other food sustainability behaviors.
The CFI was established in January 2022. Since then, we’ve surveyed more than 50,000 American adults nationwide on a monthly basis. Our mission is to deliver timely insights into consumer perceptions, behaviors and preferences related to current events and the agri-food system.
