Data Sheet 4_From practices to plates: sustainable agricultural practices and food self-su

Northern Ghana farm household surveys from the 2019/2020 to 2023/2024 agricultural seasons, combined with geospatial climate data. The dataset, authored by Abdul-Hanan Abdallah and shared on figshare, measures food self-sufficiency in kilogram units of maize equivalent and analyzes the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices.

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 northern Ghana.
• Correcting for selection bias in agricultural intervention studies using propensity score and endogenous treatment models.
• Investigating the effectiveness of complementary practice bundles versus single practices.

Strengths

• Panel data structure covering multiple agricultural seasons from 2019/2020 to 2023/2024.
• Integration of household survey data with geospatial data on climate, rainfall, and infrastructure.
• Analysis employs 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 dataset is very small (4.6 KB), indicating it likely contains summary or analysis results rather than raw survey data.
