Mali Household Surveys for Agricultural Biodiversity Assessment

To identify and quantify the number of all plant and animal species (domesticated and wild) and within each species, the number of types/varieties/breeds at the household-level that are: (a) grown on farm and home garden, or collected from the wild; (b) consumed as part of the diet; and (c) purchased and sold in the study sites. Information was collected for each species on its place of production or collection (farm, home garden, collected in the wild, etc.), the objective for its production or collection (Self-consumption, sale in the market, both), its different uses (food, medicine, animal feed, building material, processing, etc.), seasonality, the number of types, varieties and breeds recognized and used, key characteristics of its seed system (sources of seed, transactions and social relationships), and the water regime associated with its production (rainfed, irrigated, water harvest, etc.). Also data on assets and other socioeconomic indicators were collected. A household survey was carried out with a representative random sample of 60 households per village in three villages in the region of Sikasso in Mali (part of the Wa, Bobo and Sikasso transect where the CRP Dryland System is working in West Africa). Two of the villages (Fakoro and Kani) were also part of overall baseline survey conducted by ICRISAT. A third village, N'goutjina, was added by Bioversity. The total sample size is 180 households. The three villages in the Sikasso District of Mali: were: Fakoro (Lat 12°13074, Lon 005°20156); Kani (Lat 12°15011, Lon 005°10827); N'goutjina (Lat 12°17961, Lon 005°28372)本数据集旨在识别并量化所有家养及野生动植物物种的数量，并统计各物种种内户级层面的类型、变种或品种数量，所统计对象需满足以下三类情形：(a) 于农田及家庭菜园种植，或从野外采集；(b) 作为膳食组成部分被食用；(c) 在研究区域内进行买卖交易。 针对每一物种，研究人员收集了以下信息：其生产或采集地点（农田、家庭菜园、野外采集等）、生产或采集目的（自用、市场售卖、二者兼具）、各类用途（食品、医药、动物饲料、建筑材料、加工原料等）、季节性特征、已识别并利用的类型、变种及品种数量、种子系统的关键特征（种子来源、交易模式及社会关系），以及与其生产相关的水分管理模式（雨养、灌溉、集水等）。此外，本数据集还收录了资产及其他社会经济指标相关数据。 本次调查采用随机抽样方法，于马里锡卡索（Sikasso）地区的三个村落开展，每个村落选取60户具有代表性的家庭作为样本，该区域属于西非CRP旱地系统（CRP Dryland System）项目覆盖的Wa、Bobo及锡卡索样带范围。其中两个村落——法科罗（Fakoro）与卡尼（Kani）——曾参与国际半干旱热带作物研究所（ICRISAT）开展的整体基线调查，第三个村落恩古吉纳（N'goutjina）由生物多样性国际（Bioversity）新增纳入。本次调查总样本量为180户家庭。 马里锡卡索区的三个村落具体坐标如下：法科罗（纬度12°13′07.4″，经度005°20′15.6″）；卡尼（纬度12°15′01.1″，经度005°10′08.3″）；恩古吉纳（纬度12°17′09.6″，经度005°28′03.7″）
