Start page n/a End page n/a Language eng Abstract The data was collected in the Karagwe and Kyerwa districts of the Kagera region in north-west Tanzania. It encompasses 150 smallholder farming households and covers the two previous rainy seasons and the associated vegetation periods between September 2016 and August 2017. Households were selected for inclusion if all of the following applied to them: 1) less than 10 acres of land (4.7 ha) registered in the village offices, 2) no agricultural training, and 3) decline in the fertility of their land since they started farming (self-reported). We selected 150 smallholder households out of a pool of 5,000 households; the questionnaire contained 54 questions. The original language of the survey was Kiswahili. The answers were digitalised and translated into English. All data has been anonymised. The data can be potentially reused and further developed for the purpose of agricultural production analysis, socio-economic analysis, comparison to other regions, conceptualisation of waste and nutrient management, establishment of land use concepts, and further analysis on food security and healthy diets.
