ERS is hosting a celebration of
100 years of food consumption statistics for members of
the press and participants in the food, nutrition, and
agriculture community. Marion Nestle, Paulette Goddard Professor, Department of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health, New York University, will give the keynote address. A
National Cancer Institute researcher and food industry
representatives will provide examples of how they use
the ERS Food Availability Data System in their research
and advocacy efforts.
ERS has significantly redesigned and improved their web-based
ERS Food Availability Data System. Various features of the
new user-friendly, custom reports will be demonstrated.
Other enhancements include updated documentation and questions
& answers, an expanded glossary, and a new multimedia
product to highlight the data and its uses. Attendees
will be given an opportunity to try the new features of
the data system at this event.
A preliminary
agenda is available. Attendance is free, but registration
is required due to limited space.
