The Rural Household Multiple Indicator Survey (RHoMIS) data of 54,873 farm households in 35 countries

Here we release the Rural Household Multi-Indicator Survey (RHoMIS) dataset, derived from the open-source RHoMIS toolkit. RHoMIS is designed to simplify the collection, analysis, and dissemination of interoperable data from farm-household surveys. This release harmonizes 54,873 household observations spanning 35 countries in Latin America, Africa, and Asia into a single dataset, collected between 2015 and 2023. The data supports the investigation of system dynamics relating to food production, food security, and pathways out of poverty for smallholder farmers. This dataset is an update and revision of the previous RHoMIS dataset, published in 2020. In this new release we present a database quadruple the size, with observations of 54,873 households from 35 countries and 119 unique projects, collected from 2015 until 2023. These data are accompanied with radically improved analytical routines to process the data and calculate common performance indicators. We report 1599 variables and 41 farm household level indicators, as well as crop-level information (production, area planted, use of the produce, and sale value). We also report gendered decision-making information over the consumption of produced foodstuffs and over the incomes derived from on- and off-farm activities.本次发布的农村家庭多指标调查（Rural Household Multi-Indicator Survey, RHoMIS）数据集，源自开源RHoMIS工具包。RHoMIS旨在简化农户调查中可互操作数据的采集、分析与传播流程。本次发布的数据集整合了2015至2023年间采集自拉丁美洲、非洲与亚洲35个国家的54873份家庭观测样本，形成单一标准化数据集，可用于探究小农粮食生产、粮食安全及脱贫路径相关的系统动态机制。 本数据集为2020年发布的初代RHoMIS数据集的更新修订版本。本次新版数据集规模为初代的四倍，涵盖2015年至2023年间来自35个国家、119个独立项目的54873份家庭观测数据。配套本次数据集的还有大幅优化的数据分析流程，可用于数据处理与通用绩效指标的计算。本数据集包含1599个变量与41个农户层面指标，同时涵盖作物层面信息，包括产量、种植面积、产品用途及销售价值。此外，数据集还收录了关于自产食品消费以及农内与农外活动收入相关的性别决策信息。
