Kedougou Nutrient Diversity

Description

Feed the Future's strategy focuses on five core investment areas: agriculture, nutrition, policy, infrastructure, and institutional capacity. The program focuses its rice activities in the Senegal River ValleyData on household and regional production values for Kedougou, Senegal. The data was produced as part of a Borlaug-funded PhD project studying the impact of crop diversity on ecological and human well-being in south-eastern Senegal. This data asset is comprised of three distinct spreadsheets covering regional production from the Ministry of Agricuture, household-level production data, and crop nutrient data for Kedougou, Senegal.

21 This dataset contains crop nutrient data for Kedougou, Senegal. Crop nutrient data were compiled from a West Africa-specific food composition database. Nutrient content data are for the edible portion of each crop; in some cases seeds, in other cases tubers, and in other cases leaves. For some crops, multiple crop components are consumed, but that is not the case in this specific study. RDA values are targeted to specific age groups. An unweighted average RDA value was used for each nutrient that averages the needs of children, adolescents, and adults. https://data.usaid.gov/d/vhsq-ht3a
21 This dataset covers regional production from the Ministry of Agricuture for Kedougou, Senegal. Production estimates are collected annually for the region by extension agents who combine survey-based yield estimates with direct, in-field yield measurements. Data are aggregated to the department and regional level. Data are available back to the early 1990s, but the years 2010-2012 were selected because before 2010, data were only available for a small number of crops and there were several years with missing data points. https://data.usaid.gov/d/4vki-3fuv
21 This dataset contains household-level production data for Kedougou, Senegal. It was generated through a 2010 survey of 127 households across 38 villages in the region. Production data was collected at the household level. Quantitative reports of amounts produced for non-staple crops (fruits, vegetables, meat, and dairy) were not reliable because of difficulty recalling amounts produced and exchanged of highly seasonal and marginal food items. Quantitative production data was collected for fonio, maize, millet, peanuts, potatoes, rice, and taro. Qualitative, presence-absence data were collected for bissap, jakatu, cabbage, cassava, okra, and cowpea. https://data.usaid.gov/d/75zc-4d34
