Springer Payment for Environmental Services in Agriculture 31

Explore the complex relationship between economic policy and natural resource management in this academic volume from Springer. As development policy shifts to address natural resource degradation, Payment for Environmental Services (PES) programs have emerged as a key tool in developing countries. This book examines how market and institutional incentives are used to reach both environmental goals and poverty alleviation objectives. Readers will find a detailed scrutiny of the analytical tools used to design these programs. The text investigates the implications for the rural poor and looks at how these initiatives connect with international treaties regarding biodiversity loss and global warming. This work provides necessary context for understanding how economic policies can be structured to protect landscapes while supporting the livelihoods of those living in agricultural regions.
