Valoración de la oferta de bienes públicos por parte de los sistemas agrarios: el caso del olivar de montaña en Andalucía

Abstract

We carried out an economic valuation of public goods (PGs) provided by Andalusian mountainous olive groves using choice experiments. The results show varying farmers’ behaviour depending on the level of stringency of the requirements included in agri-environmental schemes, with willingness to accept (WTA) lower than € 80/ha for less stringent scenarios (such as those associated with integrate production) and WTA higher than € 300/ha for the most stringent scenario (designed to maximise the provision of environmental PGs). The study also indicates that the inclusion of a results-based bonus has a low relevance
