The agricultural sector faces a series of environmental challenges such as water and soil pollution, erosion or biodiversity loss, especially in monoculture systems. Alternatively, crop diversification is seen an option to reduce negative impacts enhance Ecosystem Services (ES). Most these ES, improving resilience, despite the benefits high social value, do not take part market. In this context, present paper presents analysis preferences regarding practices Mediterranean agroecosystems. To...
Abstract Crop diversification practices (CDPs) are alternative strategies aimed to achieve sustainable cropping systems and food production overcoming the agro-environmental impacts of conventional such as monoculture. Thus, this paper aims improve knowledge implementing CDPs in different European pedoclimatic regions by assessing economic performance at farm level. compared with clustered terms their gross margin (GM) results variations. Farm-level assessment shows that provide positive...
Crop diversification is becoming increasingly important for preserving soil and ecosystems’ health and, subsequently, crop productivity sustainability. Intercropping practices adopted in monocultural woody crops, with herbaceous crops covering the otherwise bare alleyways, foster ecological interactions can provide both environmental economic advantages. In this study, intercropping were implemented a traditional mandarin orchard south-eastern Spain, which was monitored three years to assess...
Assessing ecosystem services associated with agricultural landscapes is of growing interest to the research and policy/practice communities. One particularly challenging aspect understand value aesthetic quality such landscapes, even though this one main contributions that make cultural service provision. Indeed, as increasing demands are placed on for food production, infrastructure development urbanisation, qualities can be severely affected, if those used traditional practices. Here we...
Crop diversification can enhance farm economic sustainability while reducing the negative impact on environment and ecosystem services related. Despite market non-market benefits of crop diversification, monocropping is a widely used dominant practice in Europe. In this context, works aims to assess overall several systems across Europe compared it system. For purpose, an valuation by integrating values for eight case studies distributed three different European pedoclimatic regions...
Agroecosystems are anthropised ecosystems where human activities, mainly agricultural practices, affect the innate functioning, leading to provision of agroecosystem services (AES) and disservices (AEDS). This study presents a novel integrated economic valuation AES AEDS provided in water-scarce Mediterranean area (south-eastern Spain), using discrete choice experiment. The results reveal social demand for disutility AEDS, as well non-linearity marginal utility some these AEDS. Food...
Agroecosystems provide several agroecosystem disservices, among which diffuse nutrient pollution is one of the most significant, mainly due to its negative impacts on surrounding ecosystems, such as coastal ecosystems. Therefore, implementation agricultural measures mitigate might become a way overcome this environmental challenge. However, proper requires both cost-effectiveness assessment and social support. This paper aims value demand for benefits gained in ecosystems from their...
Irrigation water is a vital input for agricultural production. The supply of irrigation to crops enhances land productivity and affects the agroecosystem functioning. Agroecosystems co-provide wide range services disservices, which contribute positively negatively, respectively, human wellbeing. Therefore, irrigated agroecosystems produce several positive negative outcomes in relation society, management key provision adequate incentives enhancement social In such context, aim this work was...
Public attention to the impact of human activities on environment is growing over time across several sectors, particularly agri-food. In Europe, agricultural sector's focus sustainability has influenced EU policies for at least 40 years. The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) years been proposing tools, commitments, and incentives mitigate over-use natural resources increase or maintain flow ecosystem services (ES) provide by agro-ecosystems. latest reform (23-27), strengthens commitments...
From February 1969 through March 1972, nine cases of the Guillain-Barré-Strohl syndrome were seen. In all patients there was evidence acute glomerulonephritis, and in eight histological confirmation obtained. The clinical manifestations renal disease hypertension or microscopic hematuria, both, found only after repeated examinations. one patient who showed clear-cut histologic changes, no laboratory findings nephritis. followed for up to 3 years initial episode, control biopsies two...
Abstract The supply of reclaimed water to ecosystems increases their ecosystem service flows, which is directly translated into terms social welfare. This study explores the factors that determine different perceptions welfare impact supplying different, and competitive, in Segura River Basin (southern Spain): specifically, an agroecosystem (agricultural irrigation) a river (higher flow). results contingent valuation exercise with population Murcia Region show four groups respondents,...
(1) Background: The pressure that agricultural systems’ intensive management exerts on the environment concerns society. For this reason, demand for sustainable foods is growing in market. This study investigated consumers’ Willingness To Pay (WTP) dry semolina pasta produced with raw materials from more diversified systems and which factors influence choice. (2) Methods: data, collected through a contingent valuation exercise, involved 185 Italian consumers. Through Tobit model, drivers...
Abstract Since the beginning of financial crisis in summer 2007, European Central Bank (ECB) has redirected traditional monetary policy, based on interest rates, to an unconventional policy focused quantitative expansion its balance sheet. In this context, present paper aims assess effectiveness instruments with regard inflation and economic growth. To end, methodology is estimation a structural vector autoregressive model for period 2007:Q1–2018:Q4, using four variables: EONIA, total amount...
ResumenLa calidad estética del paisaje agrícola es un servicio ecosistémico (SE) cultural provisto por agroecosistema que tiene efecto positivo en la salud y bienestar de población.En las últimas décadas, los cambios uso suelo agroecosistemas han dado lugar a una modificación fragmentación agrícola, con variación asociado consiguiente SE.En este contexto, el objetivo trabajo estimar preferencias sociales determinar importancia relativa atributos lo componen.Para ello se usa como caso estudio...
Aim of study: This study proposes a crop diversification innovative business model based on stakeholder preferences towards different incentive alternatives. Area South-East Spain. Material and methods: Citrus intercropping practices in Spain has been used as case study. Stakeholders’ for incentives were investigated by using multicriteria approach, those results integrated into the development canvas. Main results: Including environmental within operational programmes producer organizations...
