摘要：

The food system accounts for a large share of fossil fuel consumption in the United States, and energy accounts for a substantial and highly variable share of food costs. To study these relationships, we use the most recent data available to integrate the material-flows accounting framework adopted by the United Nations Statistical Commission into the ERS Food Dollar accounts.

Errata: On March 10, 2017, ERS corrected a few errors made in the calculation of data reported in Figure 14 (p. 32) and in the calories columns in Table 5 (p. 34). References to these data were updated in the text on pages 31-33 and p. 42. Also, a superscript on q on p. 89 was changed from a 1 to 0.
