Food Availability (Per Capita) Data System

Published by Economic Research Service, Department of Agriculture | Department of Agriculture | Metadata Last Checked: June 24, 2025 | Last Modified: 2020-07-24
The ERS Food Availability (Per Capita) Data System (FADS) includes three distinct but related data series on food and nutrient availability for consumption. The data serve as popular proxies for actual consumption at the national level. Food availability data are now updated through 2011, the most recent year available; these data are the foundation for the other two series. Loss-adjusted food availability data are also available through 2011 for most products but are preliminary estimates. Nutrient availability data are provided through 2006, as this data series has not yet been updated beyond 2006.
