This perennial favorite breakout session is back! This is the best opportunity to meet some of the federal government data experts who champion action in improving public access to information to catalyze innovation. Come learn how to use assets from the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), the Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and more. Each agency in the federal government is staffed by experts who are well versed in the information resources available from their division on data.gov (administrative data, survey data, research data, medical/scientific content, etc.) The Datalab will also feature opportunities for one-on-one meet-ups with data experts for “deep dives” into agency’s resources. Participants can join live demonstrations and check out new data resources and tools. The goal of the session is to give innovators and entrepreneurs an overview of new, updated, and emerging datasets that can be used to support new applications and services.

Notes de l'éditeur
Some examples of USDA food and nutrition data publically linked through data.govThe Agricultural Research Service (ARS) is the source for the “gold standard” of nutrient data—the National Nutrient Database for Standard ReferenceThe USDA Nutrient Database for Standard Reference is the major source of food composition data in the United States and provides the foundation for most public and private sector databases. SR25 contains nutrient data for over 7,500 food items for up to 143 food components, such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and fatty acidsThe Economic Research Service (ERS) has multiple types of food and nutrition data two examples are —Food Availability Data System (commonly known as the “food supply”). This provides estimates of per capita availability of several hundred foods available for human consumption in the United States --Food Desert Locator. This data set allows users to map food deserts (geographic areas with limited access to healthy foods) and view census tract-level statistics on population groups with low access to healthy food.
Some examples of USDA food and nutrition data publically linked through data.govWithin the Food and Nutrition Service, a number of national programs provide information through data.gov.The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP—formerly known as Food Stamps) has a Retail Locator map program that allows users to find a retailer near them that welcomes SNAP EBT customer. On a national map, just click the "Select Location" button and enter a starting location to see results such as the one shown.SNAPparticipation and cost data is also available. The data is furthered divided by annual, state, and monthly levels categorized by persons participating, households participating, benefits provided, average monthly benefits per person and average monthly benefits per household. The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) ProgramParticipation and Cost Data is also available, as is The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) Participation, Meals, and Cost This data set contains participation; meals served, and cash payments to states. The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) provides a National Farmers Market Directory, which is designed to provide members of the public with convenient access to information about U.S. farmers market locations, directions, operating times, product offerings, and accepted forms of payment.
Today I am highlighting a CNPP data set available on Data.gov--the MyPyramid Food Raw DataThe uniqueness of this data set is that it is translated into information non-nutritionists can use for their applications. Food and portion names have been simplified, food group and calorie information has been pre-calculated for each portion option—such as ½ cup of oatmeal or 1 medium pancake—rather than the typical units for nutrition data, which is per 100 grams of food. Contents: about 1000 commonly consumed foods includedconsumer-friendly food names and portion descriptionsmultiple potion options for many foodssuggested increments for each portion ( eg ¼ cup, ½ ounce)food group, calorie, saturated fat, solid fats, oils, and added sugars information for each food and portiondata already pre-calculated for each portion (most food data is per 100 grams) NOTE TO ROB: Food groups are from MyPyramid, I’m not sure of the year of the data and that might be hard to find—but my guess is it’s CSFII 94-98
Food Group TrackingKeep a tally of the Food Groups eaten throughout the day.Compare the Food Groups eaten to a 2000 Calorie Plan.Compare foods on the goSimple comparison of two foods to aid in decision making.Find and compare foods at point of sale. Look up nutrition information for restaurant and menu foods on site.Ingredients App – Search for foods and find the ingredients. Apply Text Interaction ApproachesDaily Tip Text App – Receive tips/inspirational texts throughout the day. Texts could be associated with user-designated goals.Games to be played individually or between friends or other user groups.Food triviaDrawing (e.g., Draw This – a current and popular game) Guessing game (e.g., how many grapes in a cup of fruit?) Apply UPC scanning or food photograph technologyQuick food lookup including nutrition info. Scan the UPC code to find the food groups and subgroups.Suggest food choices - Replace one food with another healthier choiceEnter foods you eat to generate a list of healthy suggestions and ideasEnter a food to make for dinner or items in your pantry and get suggestions on healthy preparation ideas.
