使用来自全国食品购买者调查的数据，使用概率分析来估计兰开斯特-温斯坦模型，以调查当地食品购买者的特征。因为“本地食品”是什么没有标准，消费者调查被用来相当狭隘地定义为从农贸市场购买，直接从农民那里购买，以及社区支持农业（CSA）会员资格。结果表明，收入和人口特征不是主导因素，与环境和健康相关的态度或行为也不会显著影响购物者是否购买本地产品。相反，是与食物和购物相关的态度和行为显著增加了购物者购买当地食物的可能性。这意味着将有效推广当地食品的策略。
Using data from a national survey of food shoppers, a Lancaster-Weinstein model is estimated using probit analysis to investigate the characteristics of local food buyers. Because there is no standard for what “local food” is, consumer research is used to define the term fairly narrowly as buying from farmers’ markets, buying directly from farmers, and Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) membership. The results reveal that income and demographic characteristics are not dominant factors, nor do attitudes or behaviors related to the environment and health significantly affect whether shoppers buy local. Rather, it is the attitudes and behaviors related to food and shopping that significantly increase the probability that shoppers buy local food. The implications are strategies that will be effective in promoting local foods.
