Adoption dynamics of food redistribution technology to enhance policy measures in the agri-food sector
The adoption of Food Redistribution Technology (FRT) plays a critical role in addressing the challenges of food security and waste prevention, particularly in the fruit and vegetable (FV) sector, which is characterized by high perishability of products and complex supply chain dynamics. FRT refers to organizational innovations that use information and communication technologies to connect stakeholders, developing business models that enhance redi…
When cultural services and biodiversity matter most
Most dryland ecosystems are characterised by a low ecosystem services (ES) provision, being socially perceived as lacking in cultural and regulating ES. This is the case of the badlands, highly eroded arid ecosystems without vegetation, which have been extensively analysed from a physical point of view, but hardly studied from the point of view of the benefits they provide to society. This paper aimed to determine the social preferences for and t…
Integrating socio-spatial preference heterogeneity into the assessment of the aesthetic quality of a Mediterranean agricultural landscape
Assessing ecosystem services associated with agricultural landscapes is of growing interest to the research and policy/practice communities. One particularly challenging aspect to understand is the value of the aesthetic quality of such landscapes, even though this is one of the main contributions that agricultural landscapes make to cultural ecosystem service provision. Indeed, as increasing demands are placed on agricultural landscapes for food…
Crop diversification practices in Europe
Crop diversification practices (CDPs) are alternative strategies aimed to achieve sustainable cropping systems and food production overcoming the agro-environmental impacts of conventional cropping systems such as monoculture. Thus, this paper aims to improve the knowledge of implementing CDPs in different European pedoclimatic regions by assessing the economic performance at the farm level. CDPs are compared with conventional cropping systems an…
Understanding socio-spatial perceptions and Badlands ecosystem services valuation. Is there any welfare in soil erosion
Badlands are one of the dryland ecosystems where the absence of the regulating ecosystem service (ES) of erosion control enables the provision of cultural ESs, which include, among others, a singular landscape. The lack of consideration of the social value of these areas, due to their low productive value and low biodiversity, has led to their transformation and disappearance. At the same time, the scientific literature that deals with social pre…
Preferencias sociales y valoración económica en la gestión sostenible de espacios naturales protegidos
Los Espacios Naturales Protegidos (ENP) constituyen áreas a conservar dada su capacidad de generar bienes y servicios que benefician a toda la población. La presión antrópica a la que están sometidas estas áreas origina la necesidad de implementar medidas para su gestión y conservación. El objetivo de este trabajo es valorar económicamente las preferencias sociales sobre de las medidas de gestión en el ENP del río Segura y su entorno a su paso po…
Economic valuation of allotment gardens in peri-urban degraded agroecosystems
Integrated valuation of semiarid Mediterranean agroecosystem services and disservices
Agroecosystems are anthropised ecosystems where human activities, mainly agricultural practices, affect the innate functioning, leading to the provision of agroecosystem services (AES) and disservices (AEDS). This study presents a novel and integrated economic valuation of the AES and AEDS provided in a water-scarce Mediterranean area (south-eastern Spain), using a discrete choice experiment. The results reveal the social demand for AES and the d…
Assessment of social demand heterogeneity to inform agricultural diffuse pollution mitigation policies
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, the implementation of agricultural measures to mitigate nutrient pollution might become a way to overcome this environmental challenge. However, proper implementation requires both a cost-effectiveness assessment and soc…
Social desirability bias in the environmental economic valuation
Environmental economic valuation allows to derive values from individuals’ behaviour in hypothetical markets, but it is not exempt from certain biases. this work aims to evidence the existence of social desirability bias (sdb) in the use of the stated preference method for environmental valuation. sdb is due to the consideration that, when interviewed, people provide responses to match the interviewer’s expectations or to be consistent with socia…
Assessment of real and perceived cost-effectiveness to inform agricultural diffuse pollution mitigation policies
El regadío y su influencia en la regulación local de temperaturas en superficie en la citricultura mediterránea
El efecto fro del regado, dada su influencia en la temperatura de la superficie terrestre (TS), es uno de los servicios ecosistmicos de regulacin de los ecosistemas agrarios. En la agricultura de regado de zonas clidas este servicio juega un papel destacado al amortiguar los extremos de temperatura. El objetivo de este trabajo es cuantificar y determinar los factores que explican el comportamiento de la TS en reas de regado, utilizando como caso …
Valuing diversification benefits through intercropping in Mediterranean agroecosystems
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 as an option to reduce negative impacts and to enhance agricultural Ecosystem Services (ES). Most of these ES, such as improving resilience, despite the benefits and the high social value, do not take part in the market. In this context, th…
Adoption of irrigation water policies to guarantee water supply
Climate Change, Security Risks, and Violent Conflicts
Research on security-related aspects of climate change is an important element of climate change impact assessments. Hamburg has become a globally recognized center of pertinent analysis of the climate-conflict-nexus. The essays in this collection present a sample of the research conducted from 2009 to 2018 within an interdisciplinary cooperation of experts from Universität Hamburg and other institutions in Hamburg related to the research group "…
