By spending a smaller proportion on food, more money can be on other things.

The percentage of disposable personal income spent for food differs among income groups. Low-income families spend a larger proportion of their income for food than do higher income families.

Americans last year spent $312 billion for food produced on U.S. farms. Of that amount, farmers received about $84 billion, or 27 percent.
