Characterisation of rural households: a baseline survey for crowd sourcing crop improvement and climate adaptation in Central America

In 2015 we interviewed 2331 households in the Trifinio region (comprising El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras) for the baseline of the project "Crowdsourcing crop improvement: Evidence base and Outscaling model". The project focus on the application of two crop improvement interventions in smallholder agriculture. This survey was performed to understand the state of families participanting in the project. We focus on common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) the main pulse cultivated in Central America. Data collection follow a standardised survey for the characterisation of rural households for climate adaptation interventions. This dataset contains the socio-economic and farm management information of these households.

2015年，我们为开展“众包作物改良：证据基础与规模化推广模型（Crowdsourcing crop improvement: Evidence base and Outscaling model）”项目的基线调研，在特里尼弗里奥地区（涵盖萨尔瓦多、危地马拉与洪都拉斯）访谈了2331户家庭。本项目聚焦于两项作物改良干预措施在小农农业中的应用。本次调查旨在了解参与本项目的家庭的实际状况。我们将普通菜豆（Phaseolus vulgaris）——中美洲主要栽培的食用豆类——作为研究对象。数据采集遵循针对气候适应型干预措施的农村家庭特征标准化调查规范。本数据集包含受访家庭的社会经济与农场管理相关信息。
