Purdue's Center for Food Demand Analysis and Sustainability (CFDAS) tracked consumer insights and the economics of the food system to produce reports on trends and emerging topics. Research, reports and insights focused on four main categories: food prices; food production and supply; consumer food spending; and consumer preferences, attitudes, knowledge and beliefs.

CFDAS produced the monthly Consumer Food Insights (CFI) report, a survey-based report that assessed food spending, consumer satisfaction and values, support of agricultural and food policies, and trust in information sources.

CFDAS operated between January 2022 and May 2026. CFI reports were published between January 2022 and April 2026. Past reports, data and other information are available upon request. Please contact Joseph Balagtas, professor of agricultural economics, at balagtas@purdue.edu.
