Limited access to supermarkets, supercenters, grocery stores, or other sources of healthy and affordable food may make it harder for some Americans to eat a healthy diet. Expanding the availability of nutritious and affordable food by developing and equipping grocery stores, small retailers, corner markets and farmers’ markets in communities with limited access is an important part of the Healthy Food Financing Initiative. There are many ways to define which areas are considered "food deserts" and many ways to measure food store access for individuals and for neighborhoods. Most measures and definitions take into account at least some of the following indicators of access:

• Accessibility to sources of healthy food, as measured by distance to a store or by the number of stores in an area.
• Individual-level resources that may affect accessibility, such as family income or vehicle availability.
• Neighborhood-level indicators of resources, such as the average income of the neighborhood and the availability of public transportation.

In the Food Access Research Atlas, several options are available to describe food access along these dimensions. The Food Access Research Atlas presents a spatial overview of food access indicators for low-income and other census tracts using different measures of supermarket accessibility. It provides food access data for populations within census tracts and offers census-tract-level data on food access that can be downloaded for community planning or research purposes. This Atlas can be used to create maps showing food access indicators by census tract using different measures and indicators of supermarket accessibility. It can be used to compare food access measures based on 2015 data with the previous 2010 measures, view indicators of food access for selected subpopulations, and download census-tract-level data on food access measures.

This data provides historical summaries of total participation and meals served as part of the USDA's Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) School Breakfast Program. The summary data begins in 1969, the year that FNS was established to administer USDA's nutrition assistance program. The School Breakfast Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools and residential child care institutions. It began as a pilot project in 1966, and was made permanent in 1975. The School Breakfast Program is administered at the Federal level by the Food and Nutrition Service. At the State level, the program is usually administered by State education agencies, which operate the program through agreements with local school food authorities in more than 89,000 schools and institutions. School districts and independent schools that choose to take part in the breakfast program receive cash subsidies from the USDA for each meal they serve. In return, they must serve breakfasts that meet Federal requirements, and they must offer free or reduced price breakfasts to eligible children. Any child at a participating school may purchase a meal through the School Breakfast Program. Children from families with incomes at or below 130 percent of the Federal poverty level are eligible for free meals. Those with incomes between 130 percent and 185 percent of the poverty level are eligible for reduced-price meals.

Key Drivers for The Starter Fertilizers Market

The market for starter fertilizers is having a growing impact on meeting the world's rising food demand.

In the future, the market for starter fertilizers is anticipated to increase at the lead of the increasing need for food. Starter fertilizers are sprayed on crops because they help startling grow faster by providing vital nutrients in easily accessible areas close to the roots, improving nutrient uptake efficiency, reducing nutrient losses to the environment, and improving the overall health and vigor of the crop, all of which raise food productivity. For instance, in July 2021, A Berlin-based journal publisher called Springer Nature Group reported that between 2010 and 2050, there would be a 35% to 56% rise in the overall world food demand. Moreover, the US government agency USDA Economic Research Service reports that in 2021, the food, agricultural, and associated sectors generated 5.4 percent of the country's GDP. Thus, the market for starter fertilizers is driven by the rising need for food. Source:(https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11625-022-01193-0) Thus, the increasing demand for starter fertilizers is driven by the global necessity to enhance food production, reflecting a growing reliance on these products to meet rising agricultural needs worldwide.

Government-initiated farm projects driving market growth for starter fertilizers

Growing government support for the agriculture industry is anticipated to fuel the market for starter fertilizers' future expansion. Government initiatives are plans, policies, or programs that the government introduces and puts into effect in order to address certain problems or accomplish particular social objectives. Government programs that assist agriculture can influence demand, foster innovation, and encourage the use of contemporary agricultural techniques, all of which can foster an atmosphere that is favorable to the expansion of the market for starter fertilizers. For instance, in 2023, The USDA Science and Research Strategy, 2023–2026, published by the US Department of Agriculture, a US government organization, A strategy called Cultivating Scientific Innovation was unveiled by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) to change US agriculture via research and innovation. It lists the top scientific goals in the field. By 2050, the strategy hopes to reduce US agriculture's environmental impact in half while increasing agricultural output by 40%. The market for starter fertilizers is thus expanding as a result of growing government efforts for the agriculture sector. Source:(https://www.usda.gov/sites/default/files/documents/usda-science-research-strategy.pdf) Thus, Government-led agricultural initiatives are fostering market growth for starter fertilizers by implementing farm projects that emphasize the importance of nutrient management and soil health, thus driving demand for these products.

Market Dynamics

Key Drivers

The various government schemes and policies are factoring the market growth

Governments from all over the world are aggressively starting a range of programs to give farmers in developing areas financial support, making it easier for them to acquire necessary equipment and raw materials. The total productivity and efficiency of the agriculture industry are the goals of these programs. The 54 countries studied, including all OECD and EU nations as well as 12 significant emerging economies, implemented support policies that, according to the most recent edition of the OECD's annual Agricultural Policy Monitoring and Evaluation report, which was released in June 2020, provided an average of USD 536 billion (EUR 469 billion) in direct support to farmers between 2017 and 2019. For instance, in light of the aforementioned, the Government of India launched the "Sub Mission on Agricultural Mechanisation (SMAM)" in 2014–15 as a specific initiative aimed at increasing farm mechanization in the nation. By establishing Custom Hiring Centres (CHCs), Hubs for high-tech and valuable farm equipment, and Farm Machinery Banks, the program seeks to "reach the unreached" by providing small and marginal farmers (SMFs) with inexpensive access to farm machinery. Another activity under the initiative is the distribution of various subsidized agricultural equipment and equipment to individual farmers. Another instance is of England where beginning from January 2022, farmers and growers in England may apply for up to £500,000 in government funds to invest in state-of-the-art robotics and technology to enhance food output. Up to £500,000 in grants can be used to purchase productivity-enhancing machinery such as automated milking systems, robots for spraying, harvesting, and harvesting, and driverless tractors. Moreover, in France, the government offered $10 billion (EUR 9 billion) to the agrarian community to help them purchase equipment and advanced software that can automate many of the manual agricultural tasks. Furthermore, according to information released in August 2022 by the Agriculture Secretary, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will invest $300 million, including funds from the American Rescue Plan, in a new organic transition initiative that will help create new and better markets and income streams for farmers and producers. In addition to immediate support in the form of funding for conservation measures and enhanced crop insurance aid, the project will offer complete technical support, including farmer-to-farmer mentorship.

The commercial breeds held the highest Pig Farming market revenue share in 2024. Market Dynamics of Pig Farming Market Key Drivers for Pig Farming Market Increasing Demand for Pork to Propel the Market Revenue Growth The demand for pork, a major source of protein in many diets, has increased due to the expanding worldwide population, especially in emerging economies. Urbanization, shifting food tastes, and growing disposable incomes are some of the causes driving this demand. For instance, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a higher-than-expected February production led to a 30 million increase in the first-quarter commercial pork production to 7.2 billion pounds. It is anticipated that 27.9 billion pounds of commercial pork would be produced in 2024, a 2.2% increase over the previous year. It is predicted that the average live price of 51–52 percent lean pigs will be $61 per cwt, which is 3.7% more than in 2023. Due to increased demand from significant importing nations and declining EU pork competitiveness as a result of higher prices and decreased supply, pork exports are expected to increase by 50 million pounds by 2024. Pork exports are predicted to total 7.1 billion pounds in 2024, 4.6 percent more than shipments from the previous year. Source: https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/animal-products/hogs-pork/market-outlook/. Rising Food Demand to Propel Market Growth The growing food demand is expected to drive the pig farming market during the forecast period. The world's population is continually increasing, and with it, the demand for food rises. As more people require sustenance, there's a proportional increase in the demand for protein sources like pork. As per the report published by Food and Agriculture Organization, between 2009 and 2050, the world's population is predicted to increase by more than a third, or 2.3 billion people. Based on the forecasts, it would be necessary to increase global food production by around 70% between 2005/07 and 2050 to feed the 9.1 billion people that will live the planet by then. Source: https://www.fao.org/fileadmin/templates/wsfs/docs/Issues_papers/HLEF2050_Global_Agriculture.pdf Restraint Factor for the Pig Farming Market Environmental Concerns to Limit the Expansion of the Market Negative effects of pig farming on the environment can include waste disposal and nutrient runoff polluting the air, soil, and water resources. Pig farmers may face difficulties due to worries about environmental sustainability and pressure from regulations to mitigate these effects, especially if they operate in highly populated or environmentally sensitive areas. According to the study by New Root Institute, a large pig farm has the capacity to produce up to 1.6 million tons of manure annually. These enormous amounts can be difficult to handle, and manure can find its way into the surrounding groundwater and air, harming the local ecosystem and possibly posing health risks to adjacent communities.
