Phone farm survey about the impact of COVID-19 on small crop-livestock production households in Zaghouan, Tunisia

This survey aims at documenting the impact of COVID-19 on farmers performances and household livelihoods in central semi-arid Tunisia. The survey was conducted by phone, during the COVID confinement period (May 2020) with 100 representative and randomly selected farmers who were initially targeted. Only 70 farmers were considered as valid for analysis and are reported in this dataset. The survey is composed of 7 separate sections, including i) farm and farmers (households) characteristics, including structural attributes, land use and dominant agricultural activities; ii) scoring questions related to the impact of COVID-19 on different labor-related issues; iii) scoring questions related to the impact of COVID-19 on farm marketing aspects; iv) scoring questions reflecting farmers perceptions about the impact of COVID-19 on policies; v) scoring questions about farmers perception regarding the impact of COVID-19 on system productivity (all crops and livestock activities included); vi) scoring questions related to farmers perception about the impact of COVID-19 on household food security; and finally vii) farmer’s statement of any future structural and land use changes they are planning to cope with COVID-19 and similar chocks. The majority of data embedded in this dataset is thus collected on a Likert scale (0-5). The dataset is highly useful for the good illustration of major difficulties faced by farmers, especially smallholder crop-livestock, during the pandemic crisis.
