FoodLAND - Dataset on consumers' food choices, socioeconomic and nutritional conditions, and on experimental results

This submission derives from Work Package 2  of the H2020 project FoodLAND "Food and Local, Agricultural and Nutritional Diversity" (2020-2025). It consists of two datasets with row data on urban consumers and rural consumers. The experimental protocols have been submitted separately. The datasets are provided as Excel Workbooks, while the questionnaires (urban and rural consumers) are provided in PDF format, one for each of the studied countries (English language - local language available upon request).

The description of the two datasets follows.

 Urban consumers. This excel archive compiles the data obtained from:

a standardised out-of-store/in-the-household survey for urban consumers  delivered in 7 African cities across five countries (Morocco, Kenya, Tanzania, Tunisia, and Uganda) - sheet "Survey".  Columns are survey’s variables (N=176; e.g., survey demographics, food consumption patterns diet quality indicator at individual (DQQ) and household level (HDDS), propensity to consume nutrient-dense foods or locally produced foods and ingredients, emigration and remittances, income level, setbacks and worries about the future, trust levels) further explained in the Metadata sheet. Rows are individual responses collected through the survey.

 in-lab behavioural economic experiments with consumers run in 5 African cities across four countries (Morocco, Kenya, Tanzania, Tunisia, and Uganda) - sheet "Experiments". Columns are variables emerging from the experiments ( i.e., Dictator games, Public Good Games, Risk Preferences, Time Preferences, Trust games) further explained in the Metadata sheet.  Rows are individual responses collected through the experiments. The sample of the consumers taking part to the behavioral activities matches a sub-sample of the consumers partcipating to the survey activities, through an unique identifier.

Rural consumers. This file compiles data from a standardised survey with rural consumers (500 pairs of women and child) in 5 Food Hubs from five countries (Morocco, Kenya, Tanzania, Tunisia, and Uganda). The dataset is structured as an excel archive divided into two sheets:

Sheet “Survey”. This worksheet presents the full dataset collected through the rural consumers’ surveys. Columns are survey’s variables (N=205) further explained in the Metadata sheet. Rows are individual responses collected through the survey.
