The research team worked with a two-pronged strategy for collecting data, building simultaneously on qualitative and quantitative methods. The core of the latter is a survey, which gives the quantitative backbone of the study. The study relied on two strategies: First by drawing as much as possible diachronic and historic data in the collection of qualitative material and other secondary data.

This was done in the macro studies, conducted by the partners in each country and subjected to comparative analysis by the Swedish team. Second, The research built a temporal dimension into the survey by asking the recall method, asking farmers to compare the present situation to earlier times.

The enumerators and supervisors were trained at the same time, though supervisors received extra couching on supervision. Enumerators stayed in the villages during the survey period. Two enumerators were involved in administering the household questionnaires at a time. While one was probing, the other was writing down the answer.
Through this, errors in both probing and recording were minimized. Participatory Rural Appraisal techniques were used to administer the village level questionnaire in the selected villages.
