Farmer Profiling Data - Kenya

In order to assess the impact of the Land Restoration Program, understanding what land restoration options work, where and for whom, there is need to identify the context-specific variables that may influence the performance of the restoration options as well as their uptake. In addition to monitoring the performance of the restoration option being implemented, a registration of the farmers involved in the project was conducted. A standard household survey was used, assessing both the socio-economic and biophysical characteristics of the households. The farmers were from seven sub-counties across three Kenyan counties. Specifically, the farmers were from Mwala, Yatta and Masinga sub-counties in Machakos County; Mwingi Central and Kitui Rural in Kitui County; and Mbooni East and Kibwezi East in Makueni County. The present dataset includes socio-economical data about 2276 households, including general information about the farms. NOTE: The coordinates were removed from the dataset in May 2021, in order to comply with GDPR standards. The location details are available on request: please contact the author and explain the purpose of your research.
