Payment for Environmental Services in Agricultural Landscapes: Economic Policies and Poverty Reduction in Developing Countries: Natural Resource Management and Policy, cartea 31

Editat de Leslie Lipper, Takumi Sakuyama, Randy Stringer, David Zilberman
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 dec 2008
In recent years, development policy has responded to an increasing concern about natural resource degradation by setting up innovative payment for environmental services (PES) programs in developing countries. PES programs use market and institutional incentives in order to meet both environmental and poverty alleviation objectives. However, their optimal design, implications for the rural poor, and how these initiatives integrate into international treaties on global warming and biodiversity loss are still being discussed. This book addresses these issues by scrutinizing analytical tools, providing policy insights and stimulating debate on linkages between poverty alleviation and environmental protection. In particular, it turns attention towards the role of environmental services in agricultural landscapes as they provide a living for many poor in developing countries. It serves as a valuable reference for academics and students in various disciplines, as well as for policy makers and advisors.
This book is a co-publication between Springer and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
