Buzby, Hodan Farah Wells, and Gary Vocke[Washington, D.C.] :U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, Economic Research Service,[2006]iv, 29 pages digital, PDF fileEconomic research report ;no. 31Title from title screen (viewed on Dec. 12, 2007)."November 2006."Includes bibliographical references (pages 27-29).To help Americans meet nutritional requirements while staying within caloric recommendations, the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans encourage consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole-grain products, and fat-free or low-fat milk or milk products. This report provides one view of the potential implications for U.S. agriculture if Americans changed their current consumption patterns to meet some of those guidelines. For Americans to meet the fruit, vegetable, and whole-grain recommendations, domestic crop acreage would need to increase by an estimated 7.4 million harvested acres, or 1.7 percent of total U.S. cropland in 2002. To meet the dairy guidelines, consumption of milk and milk products would have to increase by 66 percent; an increase of that magnitude would likely require an increase in the number of dairy cows as well as increased feed grains and, possibly, increased acreage devoted to dairy production.Report from the Economic Research ServiceDietUnited StatesAgricultural productivityUnited StatesDietAgricultural productivityBuzby Jean C1386648Wells Hodan Farah1386649Vocke Gary1386650United States.Department of Agriculture.Economic Research Service.ANGANGGPOBOOK9910696864803321Possible implications for U.S. agriculture from adoption of select dietary guidelines3435717UNINA
