Smallholder farmers on the impact of adoption of conservation agriculture in sub-Saharan African countries: Kenya, Zimbabwe, Tanzania and Zambia

This dataset shows the data used in the study to inform the impact of adoption of conservation agriculture in areas of Sub-Suharan Africa i.e. Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The dataset contains the self-reflective responses by smallholder farmers in the areas of Laikipia county (Kenya) and Mashonaland (Zimbabwe) upon their adoption of conservation agriculture practices on their livelihoods outcomes such as farm production, food security, income, gender disparity, social cohesion, soil fertility and sustainability. The dataset was collected following a joint collaboration project to encourage adoption of conservation agriculture by The Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (<em>COMESA</em>) and the African Conservation Tillage network (ACT).
