Footnotes1. The Self-Sufficiency Standard determines the amount of income required for working
families to meet basic needs at a minimally adequate level, taking into account family composition, ages of children, and geographic differences in costs. This does not include public subsidies or informal/private assistance.
2. Eligibility criterion for food and other federal supplement programs and benefits varies by household size, based on a percentage of the Federal Poverty Level.
3. “Supermarkets” are large-format grocery stores with all food departments present, in-cluding produce, meats, seafood, canned goods and packaged goods. Supermarkets are typically chain stores but may also be supercenters and international stores; these stores have annual sales of $2 million or more and have 3 or more cash registers.
4. The “Convenience Stores” category includes a variety of stores that sell food products, but food is not their main business. These stores include chain convenience stores, gas station convenience stores, pharmacies, and discount/dollar stores. They are typically chain operated.
5. “Small Grocery Stores,” sometimes called “mom & pop” stores or corner stores, are small format grocery stores that are typically independently owned and operated. They have annual sales of less than $2 million and have limited food departments.
6. The “Other Food Stores” category include Conventional Club stores (i.e. BJ’s), Military Commissaries, mixed markets, and public markets.
7. USDA Food Deserts are defined as low-income census tracts where residents are >0.5 miles (urban) or >10 miles (rural) from the nearest supermarket.
8. Feeding America’s Map the Meal Gap’s food insecurity rates are determined using data from the 2001-2013 Current Population Survey on individuals in food insecure house-holds; 2009-2013 American Community Survey five year estimates on median house-hold incomes, poverty rates, homeownership, and race and ethnic demographics; and 2013 American Community Survey one year estimates on unemployment rates.
9. The average dollar amount spent on food per week by food secure individuals is divided by 21 (3 meals per day x 7 days per week) weighted by the “cost-of-food index” to derive a localized estimate. Food expenditures for food secure individuals were used to ensure that the result best reflected the cost of an adequate diet.
10. Agriculture of the Middle (AOTM) encompasses a spectrum of farms and ranches that are declining because they are too small to be served well by commodity markets and too large to be served well by direct markets. Most farms are in the $50,000-$500,000 range of gross sales. See agofthemiddle.org for more information.
11. An Animal Feeding Operation (AFO) means a feedlot where: Non-aquatic animals are confined, fed, and maintained for at least 45 days in any 12-month period; and crops vegetation, forage growth, or post-harvest residues are not sustained in the normal growing season over any portion of the lot or facility. There are two types of AFOS: Confined Animal Feeding Operation and Maryland Animal Feeding Operation. Confined Animal Feeding Operations are medium or large AFO’s that discharge or “propose to discharge” manure, litter, or process wastewater. “Propose” to discharge means that your facility is designed, constructed, operated, or maintained, such that a discharge to surface waters of the State WILL occur. Maryland Animal Feed Operations (MAFO) are large animal feeding operations that do not discharge or “propose to discharge” manure, litter, or process wastewater.
◻ Broiler Chickens AFO with dry manure ranges: medium = 37,500-124,999 birds/farm or <100,000 ft2, large = >125,000 birds/farm or ≥100,000 ft2.
◻ Layer Hen AFO ranges: medium = 25,000-81,999 animals/farm, large = 82,000 or more animals/farm.
◻ Dairy Cattle AFO ranges: medium = 200-699 animals/farm, large = 700+ animals/farm.
◻ Beef Cattle AFO ranges: medium = 300-999 animals/farm, large = 1000 or more animals/farm.
◻ Hog AFO ranges: 750 or more animals/farm, dependent on weight of animals.12. Farms that grow and sell food locally in some manner. The list is derived from online
research, last updated in summer 2015. The list is not entirely comprehensive, as not all local farms have information available on the Internet.
13. Food processing and distribution facility lists were derived from multiple federal, state and county level food permit lists. Categories of food processing facilities, slaughter facilities, and distribution and storage facilities are neither mutually exclusive nor an exhaustive list of every possible type of facility.
14. The Maryland Department of Agriculture collects data on Best Management Practices for conservation, 3 of which are listed, as part of an effort to restore the health of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.
15. Data for crop and livestock dust emissions of Particulate Matter <2.5 microns (PM2.5).16. The number of watersheds comprises all watersheds present in the county, including
those that cross county borders.
Symbols (D) Data withheld to avoid disclosing data for individual farms (Census of Agriculture only)(U) Data unavailable *Many Maryland counties do not have any data or locations in this category, making the County Ranking for this category deceptively high for counties that have a value of 0. For example, there are only 4 dairy cow CAFOs in Maryland so any county with 0 CAFOs is tied for 5th place.
The Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future promotes research and develops and communicates information about the complex interrelationships among diet, food production, the environment and human health. We advocate for policies that protect health, the global environment and the ability to sustain life for future generations.
