Obesity and other diet-related diseases are said to becoming epidemic. At the same time, in both rural and poorer urban areas, the notion of “food deserts”—geographic areas with limited access to and availability of affordable healthy foods—is gathering significant attention. While the complex relationships between poverty and health outcomes are well-documented, it is not clear if food access changes these relationships, especially in the rural United States.","PeriodicalId":185368,"journal":{"name":"Choices.

But this just isn't the case. The record shows (when both good times and bad times are considered) that returns from current income and capital gains for farm investment match or exceed that on many nonfarm investments. And the riskiness or fluctuation in returns in farming is actually less than it is for many nonfarm investments.","PeriodicalId":185368,"journal":{"name":"Choices.

Parker, and David Zilberman The public sector has traditionally provided information to agriculture. Concern about government defi cits and scarcity of public resources has led ro increased scrutiny of government programs and reevaluation of publicly provided information. H ere we assess the performance and future of the Cal ifornia Irrigation Management Information Sys tem (CIMIS), a publicly funded program to provide weather information. We identi fY CIMIS users and show that, at leas t in this case, the benefits of CIMIS far outweigh the cos ts. T he program increases productivity and saves water; encourages adoption of modern technologies, such as drip irrigation; has unexpected spillover benefits, affecting users beyond the range of intended benefi ciaries; and has the potential to generate revenue or be priva tized. CIMIS demonstrates how provision of information by the public sector improves effi ciency and benefi ts a variety of users.
