Description	Journal: Journal of Hunger & Environmental Nutrition Local food production is drawing increasing attention due to environmental and health considerations. In this study, we used population, dietary, and geographical information to map potential foodsheds with emphasis on minimizing total geographic distribution. We also developed innovative protocols, metrics, and optimization methods to analyze the foodshed localization of geographic areas. We used data from Iowa to analyze and validate the optimization model. This method can also be extended to other regions outside of Iowa.
