The link between agriculture and rural food security in the ecoregions of Mexico: path diagrams and underlying datasets.

The data presented here is a nationwide Geographic Information System (GIS) layer (shape format) comprising georeferenced features of the agricultural production units and food security indices of the corresponding rural population. This nationwide dataset is disaggregated at the rural neighbourhood level ("área de control" in Spanish, the smallest spatial unit of the agricultural census in Mexico) and yields 68323 data units (number of observations = 68323). <br> The variables include 15 features of the agricultural production units, 4 food security indices and one ecoregion label (a total of 20 fields of information). <br> The meaning of each variable is described in the following url: http://seguralimentariamex.igg.unam.mx/layers/geonode_data:geonode:fsIndAndInd0 (check the "attributes" tab). <br> The variables were derived from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.agsy.2021.103091 <br> A selection of the variables were mapped and made available online in the following Geonode spatial data infrastructure: http://seguralimentariamex.igg.unam.mx/maps/?limit=5&amp;offset=0 <br>
