Income Advantage of Crop Diversification over Mono-crop Practices
Description
A metadata on income advantage of crop diversification varieties over mono-crop varieties. The income data were collected for both the cropping patterns of mono crop and diversified crop patterns at global scale. For the in come advantage, the statistical significance of income of the crop diversification was coded as 1, statistically insignificant income of crop diversification was coded as 0. In the presence of explicit information or discussion on influencing factors of crop diversification such as farm size, soil fertility, land use efficiency, accessed credit facility, resiurce adequacy, cost of production, certified seed / seed, fertiliser / pesticide, irrigation facility, efficient water use, labour engagement / manpower, shifting to their crops during monsoons, time availability, and price are considered as the variables. Those data are in the form of binary data (availability of variable content, yes - 1; unavailability of variable content, no -0). The raw data was given in CSV format.
