Agriculture systems dataset in rural communities of Hidalgo state, Mexico

The agricultural systems are commonly underrepresented by the decision making, due to difficulties obtaining data in the rural work, so then we collect data corresponding to a socio-economic and environmental survey applied to understand the relations between agricultural production, household economy, small stakeholders family structure, corn production and associated crops, and producers siblings acquiring sites of foods, edible plants and animals. The information was obtained by a survey applied to a rural population with high and very high poverty conditions into municipalities of Ixmiquilpan and El Cardonal in Hidalgo state at the center of Mexico. We performed a statistical analysis to identify the main socio-economic, agricultural and household characteristics in order to show an scope of the agricultural situation and household of rural agricultural communities in Hidalgo. This information allows us to design a recommendation for access to financial support or technical assistance in order to improve their production according to their sociocultural conditions. The data include socioeconomic values that are statistically representative of the official governmental values, proving the sufficiency of data and reproducible form in order to compare this data to other agricultural systems reported in Mexico. In the future a temporal comparison with federal data is desirable.
