      abstract = {Recent studies examine the impact of the built environment  on health outcomes such as obesity. Several studies find  for certain populations that access to unhealthy food has a  positive effect on obesity, whereas access to healthy  choices has a negative effect. Given the growth and  popularity of locally grown food, we examine how individual  weight outcomes are affected by access to  direct-to-consumer local food. After controlling for  potential endogeneity, we find that greater access to local  food has a negative association with individual weight  outcomes. We also find a negative association with greater  weight loss over a one-year period. These results provide  evidence that local food access can have potential indirect  benefits.},
