Data Sheet 1_From water to plate: stakeholders drawing the tilapia supply chain in family-based fish farming.pdf

This study investigated how local actors conceptualized the Oreochromis niloticus (tilapia) value chain in the Itamarati Rural Settlement, Ponta Porã, Brazil, through participatory co-design activities focused on the “water-to-plate” journey.</p>Methods<p>More than 150 participants, including family farmers, rural youth, extension workers, researchers, and community members, participated in the workshops.

Although the participatory process extended beyond the production of handmade drawings, the analytical dataset consisted of 31 voluntarily produced drawings. These drawings were analyzed using an inductive mixed-methods approach combining qualitative coding and descriptive quantitative analysis. Independent coding by multiple analysts was used to identify recurring variables represented in the drawings.</p>Results<p>Eleven recurring variables were identified.
