Survey of 485 Apple Farmers in Central China on Livelihood Capital and Traceability

Central China apple farmers were surveyed to explore the impact of livelihood capital on their willingness to participate in agricultural product traceability systems. The dataset likely contains survey responses from 485 farmers, analyzed using entropy methods and regression models. It was authored by Zipeng Li and last updated on 2026-05-08.

Use Cases

• Modeling farmer decision-making based on quantified livelihood capital components.
• Analyzing the hierarchical relationships between factors like orchard size and social networks using interpretive structural modeling.
• Informing targeted policy interventions to promote traceability systems based on identified key influencing factors.

Strengths

• Dataset is based on a survey of 485 apple farmers, providing a specific sample size.
• Analysis employs multiple methodologies, including entropy method, binary logit regression, and interpretive structural modeling.

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 at 24.8 KB, indicating limited scope or that it may be a summary document rather than raw data.
