Data Sheet 10_From practices to plates: sustainable agricultural practices and food self-s

Panel data from farm household surveys conducted between the 2019/2020 and 2023/2024 agricultural seasons in northern Ghana, complemented by geospatial climate and infrastructure data. The dataset, authored by Abdul-Hanan Abdallah and shared under CC-BY-4.0, measures food self-sufficiency in kilogram units of maize equivalent and examines the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices.

Use Cases

• Modeling the impact of sustainable agricultural practice adoption on food self-sufficiency based on panel survey data.
• Analyzing regional heterogeneity in treatment effects across northern Ghana based on the study's findings.
• Correcting for selection bias in agricultural intervention studies using the described Multinomial Endogenous Treatment model framework.
• Investigating the effectiveness of complementary practice bundles versus single practices for improving food security.

Strengths

• Data spans a 5-year panel from the 2019/2020 to 2023/2024 agricultural seasons.
• Analysis integrates household survey data with geospatial data on climate, rainfall, and infrastructure.
• The study applies advanced econometric models (MPS and MET) to address selection bias and heterogeneity.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The primary data file is a 5.3 KB PDF, indicating the dataset is likely a summary or documentation, not the raw data tables.
