Environmental Services and Rural Land Uses Denis Pesche, CIRAD Montpellier, 22 mars 2010 Montpellier, 22 march 2009
Serena in few words • An international research program mobilizing social sciences (economy, agro-economy, sociology, political science, geography,…) • A 4 years program (2009-2012) gathering more than 35 researchers from 7 French research institutions and 2 other country (Costa Rica, Madagascar). • Funding by the French National Agency for Research (ANR) • Coordination : Montpellier, 22 mars 2010
Global framework • The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (2005) popularized the concept of ecosystem servicesintroducing four categories : provisioning, regulating, cultural and supporting services. • The concept of environmental services is mainly used by economists and policy makers, in a perspective of new policy instruments on environmental issues. • The growing use of ES concepts draw new relations among traditionally separate “worlds” or sectors : production (agriculture forestry), conservation, environment,… ES in policies create new space for debate on environmental and agricultural issues. Montpellier, 22 mars 2010
A key objective To better understand the origin of ES and their uses and application in rural and conservation policies This knowledge should help to identify principles and mechanisms that facilitate the effective consideration of this concept in the new policies and instruments Three lines of questioning Montpellier, 22 mars 2010
