Functional food valuation, diet-related disease savings, biofortification ROI, precision nutrition market sizing, and clinical trial cost-effectiveness.
USDA ERS functional food and health-positioned food market reference data. Auto-populates base product price (SF3-E.006 ff-base-price), expected price premium (ff-premium-pct), and annual spend per customer (SF3-E.009 pm-annual-spend) for precision nutrition market sizing.
Source: USDA ERS Food Choices & Health. Market benchmarks compiled from ERS food expenditure and health food market analysis. Reference values.
CDC and USDA diet-related chronic disease prevalence and annual treatment cost data. Auto-populates disease prevalence (SF3-E.007 hc-disease-rate), annual treatment cost per case (hc-annual-cost), and expected disease reduction (hc-reduction) for health cost savings analysis.
Source: CDC Chronic Disease Fact Sheets and USDA dietary cost-of-illness estimates. Reference values; actual costs vary by setting and payer.
Compares the cost of biofortification against projected health cost savings from reduced deficiency-related disease burden. Requires ERS and CDC data to be loaded.
Tip: Use the biofortification cost per DALY averted to benchmark against WHO cost-effectiveness thresholds (~$150/DALY for high-impact interventions).
Model SF3-E.006
Calculate the premium consumers will pay for health-enhanced food products. Model willingness-to-pay for functional ingredients.
Model SF3-E.007
Estimate healthcare cost savings from improved nutrition at population level. Models impact of dietary interventions on chronic disease costs.
Model SF3-E.008
Evaluate investment return on biofortified crop development. Compare breeding costs vs health impact of nutrient-enriched varieties.
Model SF3-E.009
Size the market opportunity for precision nutrition products targeting specific demographic segments and health conditions.
Model SF3-E.010
Evaluate cost-effectiveness of nutrition intervention clinical trials for USDA-funded research. Calculate cost per QALY gained.
