What National Data Reveal For Agriculture & Nutrition Policy
The Carver Center for Agriculture & Nutrition has released a new research report focused on the chronic health condition of American children. The report provides a baseline of key measures to ensure that public understanding of childhood chronic disease is available to all parties interested in food system policy and outcomes. Drawing on decades of data from the landmark National Survey of Children's Health, the Center aims to provide more clarity on where health risks are real and pressing, and where policy responses can deliver impactful outcomes without risking unintended consequences.

In recent years, one state's law has become a national rule. A new Carver Center report examines how California’s rule conditions sales in ways that affect food and farming across the nation, raising fundamental questions about federalism and interstate commerce. The report evaluates constitutional structure, executive branch findings, and market evidence to assess where governing authority properly resides.
The Carver Center engages in rigorous research and real-world analysis, bringing clarity to the choices that shape our modern food system.
Food policy shapes affordability, access, and opportunity for every family, yet too often decisions rely on sweeping claims or narrow research that overlook tradeoffs and real-world consequences. The Carver Center for Agriculture & Nutrition exists to bring clarity, context, and evidence to those choices.
