[This dataset is embargoed until November 30, 2024]. This is a transdisciplinary dataset from ten smallholder farming villages in Patarasi Rural Municipality, Jumla District, Nepal collected during 2021 and 2022. The human component of the dataset includes fortnightly 24-hour dietary recall surveys and monthly anthropometry surveys of 721 participants (adult males, adult females, adolescent girls and children under five) from 200 smallholder households collected over a twelve-month period. For each household, there is also data on socioeconomic status, farming practices, cooking practices and beekeeping practices. The ecological component of the dataset includes plant-pollinator interaction data and flowering phenology data from the same ten farming villages as well as the results of a pollinator exclusion field experiment in fifteen replicate sites along an altitudinal gradient in this region. Taken together, these datasets enable us to understand more about: a) people’s diets, nutritional status and socioeconomic status in rural Nepal; b) which crops provide their nutrients and how these crops are grown; c) which insects pollinate these crops, and; d) how climate change is likely to impact the system.
