Study on residents’ willingness to accept based on double-bounded dichotomous CVM: a case study of Qianjiangyuan National Park pilot, China
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022

Also available in:

No results found.

This study, by taking Qianjiangyuan National Park Pilot as an example, was to analyze community residents' willingness to accept(WTA) for ecological benefits, and the influencing factors, so as to provide some reference for the future policy. Questionnaire survey was conducted on the spot. Guided by the double-bounded dichotomous contingent valuation method (CVM), this study calculated WTA and analyzed its influencing factors. The estimated WTA is 155.37 yuan RMB per mu per year, which is much higher than the current compensation implemented in this area. Respondents' family characteristics (including the number of household labor force, agroforestry income proportion, location, etc.) are more important and significant in their WTA decision-making. The respondents' cognition towards the National Park also affected their choice of WTA. Most of the respondents agreed that the priority goal of the National Park is "ecological protection", and the preferred WTA of the respondents who have this recognition will also be reduced. However, there are still some community residents who do not know the National Park clearly. Therefore, it is necessary to further strengthen the publicity and education work of the National Park to enhance residents' awareness. Keywords: community residents; WTA; double-bounded dichotomy; logistic multiple regression; Qianjiangyuan National Park ID: 3486150

A protocol for measurement, monitoring, reporting and verification of soil organic carbon in agricultural landscapes
GSOC-MRV Protocol
2020

Also available in:

No results found.

This document provides a conceptual framework and standard methodologies for the monitoring, reporting and verification of changes in SOC stocks and GHG emissions/removals from agricultural projects that adopt sustainable soil management practices (SSM) at farm level. It is intended to be applied in different agricultural lands, including annual and perennial crops (food, fibre, forage and bioenergy crops), paddy rice, grazing lands with livestock including pastures, grasslands, rangelands, shrublands, silvopasture and agroforestry. Although developed for projects carried out at farm level, potential users include investors, research institutions, government agencies, consultants, agricultural companies, NGOs, individual farmers or farmer associations, supply chain and other users who are interested in measuring and estimating SOC stocks and changes and GHG emissions in response to management practices. The document is an outcome of the successful Global Symposium on Soil Organic Carbon (GSOC17), which was held in Rome in March 2017. The document is of technical nature in support of the Soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration work. Its use is not mandatory but of voluntary nature.

Also available in:

No results found.

This report illustrates the food loss assessment studies undertaken along the maize, sunflower and beans supply chains in Uganda in 2015-16 and 2016-17. They aimed to identify the critical loss points in the selected supply chains, the key stages at which food losses occur, why they occur, the extent and impact of food losses and the economic, social and environmental implications of the food losses. Furthermore, these studies also evaluated the feasibility of potential interventions to reduce food losses and waste.
