      abstract = {A survey of 1599 randomly selected Florida households was  conducted in 2012 to evaluate
the consumer characteristics  and economic impacts of local food purchases through  retail
stores, restaurants, and direct-to-consumer market  channels. The total annual value of local
food purchases  averaged $1114 per household and represented 20.1% of food  purchased for
at-home consumption. The total economic  impacts of local food purchases in Florida were
estimated  at 183,625 jobs and $10.47 billion in value-added,  including regional multiplier
effects for agricultural  production and wholesale and retail distribution. These  values are
significantly higher than found in previous  studies in other states.},
