Food intake remains an essential component of human health life and productivity. Poor health inextricably threaten the ability of several developing nations to achieve the Millennium Development Goals by 2015, this stubborn threat is still a major concern to the achievement of the sustainable development goals (SDG. 2030). The economic burdens of poor nutrition and ill health in the development of African continent cannot be overemphasized. Therefore, eating a varied, well-balanced food groups daily, in the recommended amounts is important. Considering the existing malnutrition and ill health situation report in Nigeria, rural farmer's dietary diversity and health record is important for pertinent policy evaluation since these people are the principal operators of the nations' food system but yet one of the most vulnerable category of the countrie's working class. The survey that gave this dataset was conducted through a multi stage sampling technique with a well structured questionnaires with in the months of September 2014 and April 2015 from households selected from 18 randomly sampled villages. The administered questionnaires were divided in seven sections namely; respondent's socio-economic characteristics, health and environmental profile, food utilization and nutrition, requested information about respondent's agricultural labour productivity, agricultural production cost and return, cost implication of health and nutrition and dietary diversity nutrition and other problems. The questionnaires were written in English language but translated in local language during the interview for ease of understanding by the participants, the survey successfully ended with a total of 420 properly filled and captured questionaires which was quite representative. The dataset is hereby made available as it is considered vital for policy recommendations.
食物摄入仍然是人类健康生活和生产力的重要组成部分。健康状况不佳不可避免地威胁到几个发展中国家在2015年实现千年发展目标的能力，这种顽固的威胁仍然是实现可持续发展目标（2030年可持续发展目标）的主要关切。非洲大陆发展中营养不良和健康状况不佳所带来的经济负担再怎么强调都不为过。因此，每天按照推荐量食用种类丰富、营养均衡的食物很重要。考虑到尼日利亚现有的营养不良和健康状况报告，农村农民的饮食多样性和健康记录对于相关政策评估很重要，因为这些人是国家粮食系统的主要从业者，但却是该国工人阶级中最脆弱的群体之一。提供此数据集的调查是通过多阶段抽样技术进行的，使用了结构良好的问卷，于2014年9月和2015年4月从18个随机抽样村庄中选取的家庭进行。所发放的问卷分为七个部分，即：受访者的社会经济特征、健康和环境概况、食物利用和营养、关于受访者农业劳动生产率的所需信息、农业生产成本和回报、健康和营养的成本影响以及饮食多样性营养和其他问题。问卷用英语编写，但在访谈期间翻译成当地语言以便参与者理解，调查最终成功获得了420份填写完整并录入的问卷，具有相当的代表性。鉴于该数据集对政策建议至关重要，现予以提供。
