Summary: This table presents plot-level screening data on soil conservation and land consolidation practices collected during Season C (July – September 2022) of the 2021/2022 Seasonal Agricultural Survey conducted by the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda (NISR). Each record corresponds to an agricultural plot and captures information on land use and the presence of soil and water conservation measures, as well as participation in land consolidation schemes during the reference season. The dataset includes plot identification, land use type, existence of anti-erosion activities, and types of soil conservation measures applied such as ditches, terraces, cover crops, mulching, and drainage structures, as well as whether the plot is located within a consolidated land area.
Geographic Coverage: National coverage across Rwanda, including all provinces and districts, covering both rural and peri-urban agricultural areas.
Time Period: Season C of the 2021/2022 agricultural year (July – September 2022).
Frequency: Seasonal (Season C of three agricultural seasons per year).
Population/Units: Agricultural plots managed by small-scale and large-scale farming households in Rwanda.
Key Variables: Plot identification, land use type, presence of anti-erosion measures, types of soil conservation practices (ditches, terraces, cover plants, mulching, drainage), land consolidation status.
Purpose: To support analysis of soil conservation practices, land consolidation uptake, and sustainable land management strategies in Rwanda.
Data Quality Notes: Data are collected through structured field screening at plot level and reflect reported and observed conditions from sampled agricultural holdings. Estimates are based on representative samples and may vary across regions and farming systems.
","databaseName":"datasharing_platform","schemaDescription":"Summary: This dataset contains the annual results of the Rwanda Seasonal Agricultural Survey (SAS) for the 2021/2022 agricultural year, conducted by the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda (NISR). It consolidates data collected across three agricultural seasons Season A (September 2021 – February 2022), Season B (March – June 2022), and Season C (July – September 2022). The survey provides a comprehensive overview of agricultural production, land use, input utilization, and farming practices across the country, enabling analysis of seasonal and annual trends in Rwanda’s agricultural sector.
Geographic Coverage: National coverage across Rwanda, including all provinces and districts, with data representing both rural and peri-urban farming areas.
Time Period: Agricultural year 2021/2022 covering three seasons: (A: September 2021 – February 2022, B: March – June 2022, C: July – September 2022)
Frequency: Seasonal (three times per year: Seasons A, B, and C), aggregated annually.
Population/Units: Small-scale and large-scale agricultural farms operating in Rwanda.
Key Variables: Crop production and yield, land use (seasonal crops, permanent crops, pasture), use of improved seeds, organic and inorganic fertilizers, pesticide use, irrigation practices, and soil conservation measures.
Purpose: To provide timely and reliable agricultural statistics for monitoring production, food security, and input use, and to support evidence-based policy-making and agricultural planning in Rwanda.
Data Quality Notes: Data are collected through a stratified two-stage sampling design covering 1200 segments and large-scale farms. Estimates are weighted to produce nationally representative results. The survey achieved a 100% response rate, though indicators may vary across seasons and regions.
