Association of membership in a farmer producer organization with crop diversity, household income, diet diversity, and women’s empowerment in Uttar Pradesh, India

These files contain data collected as part of a cross-sectional survey conducted in 2023 with two groups of agricultural households in Uttar Pradesh, India: (1) those with a Farmer Producer Organization (FPO) member (n=417 households, 414 men and 412 women) and (2) those without an FPO member (n=402, 395 men and 388 women). In each household, the survey was administered with an adult male and adult female except for in 29 households where only one adult was available for the survey. In most instances (94%), a husband-wife pair was interviewed. Eligibility criteria were as follows: engaged in agricultural work, 18 years or older, and provided informed consent. All the interviews were captured electronically with tablets. The survey included modules on demographics; household income and expenditures and agricultural production; a Diet Quality Questionnaire; a slightly modified version of the Abbreviated Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index; and, in FPO households, interaction with the FPO.
