Climate-smart agricultural practices, productivity, and food-nutrition security in rural South Africa: A dataset of smallholder maize farmers.

The intensifying impacts of climate change have adversely affected smallholder maize farmers, leading to low productivity, decreased incomes, and food-nutrition insecurity. As a result, an understanding of farmers' adaptation techniques to offset the negative impacts of climate change is imperative. Here we present the data on the impact of climate-smart agricultural (CSA) practices on productivity and food-nutrition security (FNS) in the 2022-2023 agricultural production season among smallholder maize farmers in North-West Province, South Africa.
