Sustainable Agricultural Practices and Food Self-Sufficiency in Northern Ghana, 2019-2024

Northern Ghana farm household panel survey data from the 2019/2020 to 2023/2024 agricultural seasons, complemented by geospatial climate data. The dataset, created by Abdul-Hanan Abdallah, measures food self-sufficiency in maize-equivalent kilograms and analyzes the impact of sustainable agricultural practices. It is a small dataset of 4.4 KB, available as a PDF.

Use Cases

• Modeling the impact of sustainable agricultural practices on food self-sufficiency based on household survey data.
• Analyzing regional heterogeneity in treatment effects across the three regions of northern Ghana.
• Applying propensity score and endogenous treatment models to correct for selection bias in observational data.
• Investigating the effectiveness of bundled versus single sustainable agricultural interventions.

Strengths

• Panel data structure covering multiple agricultural seasons from 2019/2020 to 2023/2024.
• Analysis integrates household survey data with geospatial data on climate, rainfall, and infrastructure.
• Applies Multinomial Propensity Score and Multinomial Endogenous Treatment models to address selection bias.

Limitations

• Dataset is very small (4.4 KB), suggesting it may be a summary document rather than raw data.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis.
