Research Areas
Food Assistance Program Research Center
IRP served as a Food Assistance Program Research Center from 1999 to 2015. The Center, which was directed by IRP Affiliate Judith Bartfeld, was supported by funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service (ERS) as part of the ERS Research Innovation and Development Grants in Economics (RIDGE) Program.
Reports from the studies funded by the Center are available on . For a full listing of project summaries for all RIDGE-supported research projects, including those not affiliated with IRP, go to the ERS website.
Wisconsin Food Security Project
To promote food security in Wisconsin, IRP Affiliate Judith Bartfeld and colleagues at the Applied Population Lab have created the Wisconsin Food Security Project.
The interactive data and mapping website includes state and local data on economic well-being, food security, the retail food environment, and the availability and use of public and private food assistance programs.
