Data on structure and farming practices of French organic vegetable farms, with focus on the use of inputs and the socio-economic context

Organic vegetable farming systems in France have diverse farm structures, farming practices and socio-economic contexts. From April-July 2019, Pépin et al. [1] surveyed 165 farms using an online form. The questions about farming practices or socio-economic context did not require quantitative responses to make them simple and easy to answer. From a list of practices, farmers were asked which one(s) they used most often. Using decision rules, the answers were transformed into variables that are suitable for multivariate analysis. The data set also contains analysed data, including composite indexes derived from survey answers, as well as the number of the cluster to which each farm belonged, created after multivariate analysis and clustering performed on the data set.

What area for organic vegetables? * How many family workers or associates (self-employed) work on the farm? * How many seasonal workers do you employ at the peak of work? * (a seasonal worker counts as 1, regardless of the duration of his work) How many tractors do you own? * How many different vegetables do you produce? (if there are many, an order of magnitude is sufficient) * We count here the types of vegetables in the "general public" sense. For example, cauliflower and green cabbage are 2 different vegetables; the same goes for green beans and dry beans. There is no distinction between varieties: for example yellow onion and red onion count for 1. Salads (lettuce, batavia, etc.) count for 1.

Some producers voluntarily leave or maintain spaces in order to promote biodiversity (hedges, fallows, extensive meadows, ponds, flowering plants, etc.).
On your farm, this approach is: * If you want to provide more details on spaces for biodiversity, it's here!

Yes No
You can help me even more by sending the questionnaire to other organic producers, word of mouth is always the most effective.
