2022 was a full and exciting year. In addition to my Department Head duties and typical research activities, last year was very busy with the launch of the Center for Food Demand Analysis and Sustainability (CFDAS) and the Consumer Food Insights (CFI) survey. Virtually all the content on the CFDAS website was created in 2022, and I’m grateful for a talented group of colleagues who helped make all that happen.
Here on the blog, there were 38 new posts garnering over 63,000 pageviews. The five most popular posts from 2022 include:
It’s hard to believe, but 2022 marked the 10th year anniversary of this blog. While much has changed in the last decade, including the rise and (not-quite-yet) fall of Twitter and the emergence of other media platforms that made it easier to communicate beyond traditional academic journal formats, I’ve found this blog to be an indispensable resource. If nothing else, it has served as good record for me to remember what issues have occupied my attention in the past. As I looked through website analytics the past couple years, the most widely viewed posts are now typically those written two or three years ago. There is immense satisfaction in creating and owning some of that content that continues to attract attention. Thanks to all who have followed along over the past 10 years!
Happy New Year!
