Dataset for: Household and agrobiodiversity characterization in Cumbal Colombia

Recognizing the critical need to monitor agrobiodiversity status for effective conservation strategies, this study aimed to characterize households and agrobiodiversity within farmers' fields. A total of 206 farmers in Cumbal, Colombia, were surveyed using ARCGIS Survey 123.

The surveyed farmers were specifically those with shagras (homegardens), as they were anticipated to exhibit the highest agrobiodiversity. Additionally, seed custodians, individuals acknowledged by communities for possessing extensive diversity and providing seeds for variety recovery, were included in the survey. As a result, we obtained a comprehensive database covering the following modules: household characteristics (Module A), shagras (Module B), annual (Module C) and perennial crops (Module D), agrobiodiversity and seed exchange (Module E1), conservation trends (Module E2), livestock (Module F), food collection and hunting (Module G), local nature-based solutions (Module H), crises and climate change (Module I), soil (Module J) and water management (Module K), air quality and noise contamination (Module L), landscape value (Module M), and agricultural residues (Module N).
