The accomplishments of this group are many. Two projects have more than one state involved. Currently Ray Jussaume (Washington State University) and Chery Smith (University of Minnesota) are working on a focus group project and they have invited others to join them. Dr. Jussaume has completed five focus groups and Dr. Smith will complete 3 by the end of 2008. The goal is to have each participating state complete 6 focus groups in 4 different types of ERS counties, with at least 2 urban and 2 rural counties and to include a diverse demographic profile. Focus groups will examine food access issues, barriers to healthy eating, and use of all portions of the food system (organic, sustainable, conventional, retail groceries, coops, gardening, fishing, etc). Patricia Allen (University of California) and Stephany Parker (Oklahoma State University) have expressed interest in joining the project.
Two states, Iowa (Lois Wright Morton) and Minnesota (Chery Smith), have been examined food access issues in low-income and food insecure counties identified as food desserts, by conducting focus groups and surveying stores and customers. Their work has resulted in the publication of two joint papers:
Morton, LW, Smith C. Accessing Food in Rural Food Deserts in Iowa and Minnesota. Great Plains Sociologist, 2008, 19:¬

Smith C, Morton LW. Rural Food Deserts: Low Income Perspectives on Food Access in Minnesota and Iowa. J Nutr Educ Behav. 2009, in press for January issue.
This year we added two new members, Kofi Abu- Nyako (North Carolina A&T State College) and Stephany Parker (Oklahoma State University). Last year we also added three new members, Brian Fulfrost (University of California), Philip Howard (Michigan State University), and Gail Freenstra (UC-Davis). Lastly, the group is made up of many talented individuals and the list of t accomplishments for nine members is below. While the publications, presentations, and grants represent accomplishments within their states, being part of the group may inspire their projects.
