Résumé : | Cultivated land ecosystems are complex systems that integrate human activities with natural environments, playing a critical role in both ecological and socio-economic processes. These ecosystems face significant challenges, including land degradation, soil erosion, and biodiversity loss. Despite their importance, there is currently no standardized conceptual framework or unified approach for valuing cultivated land ecosystems and their ecosystem services. This paper aims to address this gap by developing a comprehensive framework that incorporates the unique characteristics of cultivated land ecosystems, with particular focus on the relationship between ecosystem services and human well-being. It introduces a novel theoretical approach for evaluating these services through the capability approach, emphasizing the integration of key concepts, the clarification of ecosystem service definitions, and the classification of their functions. Furthermore, the study explores the practical applications of this framework for the management and valuation of cultivated land ecosystems. The capability approach, as an innovative solution, is utilized to support and enhance the ecosystem services and benefits provided by cultivated land ecosystems, ultimately contributing to improved social well-being. The findings of this research are crucial for promoting sustainable management practices and advancing the implementation of ecological compensation strategies within the context of cultivated land. |
