Data Sheet 6_From practices to plates: sustainable agricultural practices and food self-su

Abdul-Hanan Abdallah's research dataset examines the impact of sustainable agricultural practices on food self-sufficiency among farm households in northern Ghana. It uses panel survey data from the 2019/2020 to 2023/2024 agricultural seasons, complemented by geospatial climate and infrastructure data. The analysis applies Multinomial Propensity Score and Multinomial Endogenous Treatment models to measure food self-sufficiency in kilogram units of maize equivalent.

Use Cases

• Modeling the impact of sustainable 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.
• Assessing the combined effect of complementary agricultural practices (e.g., animal manure use) based on the described results.
• Correcting for selection bias in agricultural intervention studies using the described Multinomial Endogenous Treatment model methodology.

Strengths

• Panel data structure covering multiple agricultural seasons from 2019/2020 to 2023/2024.
• Analysis incorporates geospatial data on climate, rainfall, and infrastructure.
• Employs advanced econometric models (MPS and MET) to address selection bias and heterogeneity.
• Food self-sufficiency is measured in a standardized unit (kilogram units of maize equivalent).

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 (4.4 KB), suggesting it may contain summary or processed results rather than raw survey data.
