Advocates of the local foods movement have been promoting it as a tool for rural economic growth and development policy. Unfortunately, there has been very little research to support such a claim. Utilizing census data from the US Department of Agriculture to look at more recent patterns, we explore how local foods influence rural economic growth and development.
