“…A payment of that size is in line with other case studies in Latin America. xi For example, a case study of implementing the World an "s RISEMP in Nicaragua reported a maximum PES of $75/ha/yr over 4 years (Pagiola et al, 2007). In Costa Rica, the national PES program paid $1.30/tree in an agroforestry system, spread over three years (FONAFIFO, 2009); when the same terms are applied to the cash flow models of a mixed agroforestry system in Intag (Table 2) it equates to an average $100/ha/yr over the first five years.…”

“…Supporting complementarity between household livelihoods and environmental outcomes, some PES programs incentivize agroforestry activities, including in Latin America (Corbera, Soberanis, & Brown, 2009;Pagiola, 2008;Pagiola et al, 2007;Pagiola, Rios, & Arcenas, 2010). That highlights a key overlap between the literature on PES and agricultural technology adoption.…”

“…The most direct form of PES-to pay for quantified ES outputs-is a demand-side intervention that can be used to induce the adoption of particular agricultural practices. Many studies indicate that costly or lack of access to credit hinder the adoption and persistence of sustainable agriculture and agroforestry practices in the tropics lac man lbers valos- Sartorio, & Crooks, 2005;Mercer, 2004;Pagiola et al, 2007;S.K.

The main issue with the latter is how to include conditionality. We propose credit-based PES (CB-PES) as an incentive that links an environmental condition with the reduction of a key market constraint. Through a choice experiment in Ecuador, CB-PES was found to be a promising form of PES, with multiple desirable qualities of an incentive as cited in the behavioral economics and PES literatures.

“…Este pago normalmente se hace para estimular actividades sostenibles ambientalmente y se hace de acuerdo al tipo de servicio, si este es cuantificable como toneladas de carbono secuestrado, o áreas para provisión de agua, el servicio debe ser efectivo al menos durante la vigencia del contrato; el proceso de verificación lo hacen los compradores o entidades independientes a manera de certificación (Pagiola et al 2007). …”

“…Lo anteriormente expuesto intenta explicar las íntimas conexiones entre agricultura y biodiversidad, relaciones que han sido aprovechadas por productores de todo el mundo con el propósito de aumentar la producción de alimentos y salvar especies silvestres (Rerkasem et al 2002;Pagiola et al 2007). Estas tendencias sostenibles de administración de cultivos y terrenos, son elementos que para algunos autores y científicos configuran una nueva forma de hacer agricultura y que han denominado "ecoagricultura", con la cual se pretende revertir los devastadores efectos de la agricultura, y permitir que la producción agropecuaria contribuya con la conservación de la diversidad aumentando los rendimientos e ingresos, tal como lo demuestra el estudio de Córdoba y León (2013).…”

Las actividades antrópicas como la agricultura y la ganadería causan deterioro en los ecosistemas y la pérdida de biodiversidad. Ante esta realidad se han incrementado las acciones para implementar políticas que promuevan la preservación y la sostenibilidad de los ecosistemas naturales que aún se conservan y de los agroecosistemas productivos, los cuales prestan invaluables beneficios al ser humano a nivel económico, social y cultural, a dichos beneficios se les denomina servicios ecosistémicos. Entre las estrategias para materializar estas políticas en las actividades de producción agropecuaria se proponen la utilización de los enfoques de la Ecoagricultura y la Agroecología que por sus fundamentos establecen las bases para estructurar sistemas de producción agropecuaria donde se materializa la política de sostenibilidad y preservación de la biodiversidad. El presente análisis pretende dar a conocer aspectos relevantes en la definición de servicios ecosistémicos, su valoración y las particularidades de los enfoques que a nivel agrícola se han venido utilizando con miras a la conservación y potenciamiento de estos servicios en el actual contexto agropecuario.

Capacity constraints in operationalisation of payment for ecosystem services (PES) in India: Evidence from land degradation

The understanding of the requirement for PES and necessary capacity of stakeholders to conceive, design and execute PES, are critical to its successful operationalisation. Identification and assessment of capacity needs are also prerequisite for PES especially in a developing country like India where institutional setting and functioning are far from the desirable level. In this background, the paper begins with an introduction of the basic concept and centrality of economic valuation in PES. Next, the paper discusses the status of the land degradation problem in India and how the PES can prove to be an efficient tool to manage the declining ecosystem services due to increasing land degradation in the Country. By identifying the direct and indirect drivers of land degradation, the stage is set for designing of appropriate response options for halting the degradation of land which is not only the base of agrarian economy of India but source of livelihood options for the poor. In the subsequent section, the paper assesses the required capacity to operationalise PES in the states where the problem of land degradation is acute. This has been done on the basis of wider consultation with land users (farmers), conservation agencies, Departments of Land Agriculture and related R&D agencies through a structured questionnaire in group meetings in different parts of the Country during 2006-2007. The necessary capacity on behalf of stakeholders like the Local, State and National level institutions have been mapped out. The result from the survey suggests that while the capacity to understand the ecosystem services is adequate, the capacity to do valuation of incremental change in the ecosystem services is not sufficient and the State still needs to invest significant amount of resources before this tool can be used to manage the land based ecosystem services in India.
