Si les contextes politiques européen et national semblent aujourdhui favorables à la mise en uvre de paiements pour services environnementaux (PSE) en agriculture, les opérateurs publics comme privés manquent doutils pratiques et, parfois, de[...]Article
Climate change is identified as a major threat to wetlands. Altered hydrology and rising temperature can change the biogeochemistry and function of a wetland to the degree that some important services might be turned into disservices. This means[...]Article
The use of the ecosystem services approach for ecosystem management, including the valuation of ecosystem services, has grown in recent decades. Although a common framework is used, each ecosystem has its own characteristics. The agroecosystem, [...]Article
In South-east Spain the implementation of desalinated seawater for irrigation was planned as an alternative water supply for farmers. However, most high-volume desalination plants are underused as farmers current demands are lower than was prev[...]Article
The production of olive oil generates a huge amount of residues which must be adequately handled, which currently represents both an economic cost and an environmental concern. A possible solution which is under study is the use of such residues[...]Article
Climate change, the agri-food sector and trade are closely related. This contribution aims at presenting issues related to the economic impacts of climate changes on international trade. The agri-food sector is one of the most hit by changes in [...]Article
This paper presents a systemic Adaptation Assessment Framework (AAF) conceived to guide agricultural adaptation mainstreaming into broader policy domains, particularly, those related to rural development. Starting from a review of the main phase[...]Article
