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

Panel data from farm household surveys conducted between the 2019/2020 and 2023/2024 agricultural seasons in northern Ghana. The dataset, published by Abdul-Hanan Abdallah, examines the impact of sustainable practices on food self-sufficiency, measured in kilogram units of maize equivalent, and is complemented by geospatial climate and infrastructure data.

Use Cases

• Modeling the impact of sustainable agricultural practices on food self-sufficiency based on panel survey data.
• Analyzing regional heterogeneity in treatment effects across northern Ghana based on the description.
• Correcting for selection bias in agricultural intervention studies using the described multinomial models.
• Investigating the effectiveness of complementary practice bundles versus single interventions on farm outcomes.

Strengths

• Panel data structure covering four agricultural seasons from 2019/2020 to 2023/2024.
• Analysis employs Multinomial Propensity Score and Multinomial Endogenous Treatment models to address selection bias.
• Data is complemented by geospatial information on climate, rainfall, and infrastructure.

Limitations

• Dataset is very small at 4.5 KB, suggesting limited raw data or a summary document.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
