Description
416 smallholder farmers in the Siltie Zone, Central Ethiopia, were surveyed in a cross-sectional study investigating the effect of Climate-Smart Agriculture adoption on multidimensional poverty. The dataset, created by Jemil Yasin Shifa and last updated in May 2026, likely contains variables for CSA practices, a constructed Multidimensional Poverty Index, and other socioeconomic factors. Results from the study indicate that CSA adoption significantly reduces multidimensional poverty.
Use Cases
Evaluating the impact of Climate-Smart Agriculture adoption on poverty reduction based on the constructed Multidimensional Poverty Index.
Comparing analytical approaches like GSEM, 2SLS, and PSM for addressing endogeneity in agricultural adoption studies.
Informing targeted policy interventions that promote different CSA practices as a development strategy.
Contributing to empirical literature on sustainable agriculture and inclusive poverty reduction outcomes.
Strengths
Data is derived from a specific survey of 416 smallholder farmers, providing a concrete sample size.
The study addresses potential endogeneity using multiple analytical approaches (GSEM, 2SLS, PSM).
Poverty is measured via a constructed Multidimensional Poverty Index, capturing deprivations across different dimensions.
