Since 2013, the Michigan State University Center for Regional Food Systems (MSUCRFS) and the Wallace Center at Winrock International have conducted the National Food Hub Survey to identify trends in food hub economic growth and viability, their social mission and operationalization of racial equity, and the opportunities and challenges faced by food hubs across the country. The biennial survey reports help shape national understanding of food hubs, as well as provide data for current and future food hub operators, partner organizations, policy makers, funders, and community members. 

Through the National Food Hub Survey Data Dashboard, users can visually explore the findings of all previous National Food Hub Surveys. For example, a visitor could use filters to see changes in grant dependence between 2013 to 2021 for food hubs in the south. This tool provides an interactive method to understanding overall trends for food hub operations across survey years and regions.
