    This handbook is intended to facilitate an educational approach designed to increase the adoption of on-farm practices that support the organisms that provide ecosystem services. It is produced through the contribution of two projects: the Global Environment Facility (GEF) supported project “Conservation and management of pollinators for sustainable agriculture, through an ecosystem approach” implemented in seven countries – Brazil, Ghana, India, Kenya, Nepal, Pakistan and South Africa; and the EU-funded FP7 project LIBERATION (linking farmland Biodiversity to Ecosystem services for effective eco-functional intensification) – focusing on building the evidence base for ecological intensification in intensive and extensive farming landscape of countries within Europe.

    A quantitative approach to the socio-economic valuation of pollinator-friendly practices: a protocol for its use 2016
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    This handbook presents a guidance and protocol for determining the socio-economic value of pollinator-friendly versus -unfriendly practices that can be implemented at different spatial levels (for example, farms or landscapes). Values are generally quantified by contrasts. This protocol shows contrast between pollinator-friendly vs. unfriendly practices. By focusing on practices, this protocol is directly relevant for decision making. Value is expressed in monetary and non-monetary terms, and bo th are integrated in this approach, which is applicable at the farm but also the landscape level.
