“…These results require further attention about the issues included in the institutional pressures, not only at national level but also in a global context, especially for industries that operate globally, and considering the presence of supranational initiatives which try to address the environmental challenges. The global environmental challenges shape global development policies and contribute to companies to be at the forefront of innovative practices and to meet the stakeholder's expectations (Dauvergne and Alger, 2018). In this vein, a global supply chain, like textile one, should address the global environmental challenges.…”

“…Other ex-ante PES evaluations have used experiments to evaluate how policy design can impact producer decision making (Chinangwa et al 2017, Hermann et al 2017 and environmental outcomes (Sarwosri et al 2018). Our research contributes empirical evidence for how agricultural producers perceive and engage with multiscale governance mechanisms (Dauvergne and Alger 2018) to achieve their own landscape-level goals, as well as the policy interactions playing out on rangelands today. These findings have relevance beyond California, including for environmental governance experts; those who design public and private conservation programs for working lands; beef producers and consumers; and philanthropists and investors.…”

Governance of global natural resources is increasingly hybrid, with complementary public and private sector initiatives layered on landscapes to improve environmental outcomes. The challenge of polycentric land use governance is alignment of goals across diverse governance mechanisms when agricultural producers, public agencies, and corporations have distinct motivations. This case study of soil carbon governance on California rangelands explores a new payment for ecosystem services (PES) initiative led by the food and agriculture industry, called the Ecosystem Services Market Consortium (ESMC). Applying hybrid governance theory to agricultural lands, we conduct an ex-ante policy evaluation of potential policy impact based on (i) alignment between corporate sustainability goals and ranchers' priorities and (ii) complementarity of the ESMC market with existing public and private policies enabling rangeland conservation. We found corporations developing the PES market to be motivated by carbon insetting, the objectives of which converge with ranchers' goals of preserving soils. Each policy offers distinct benefits and challenges, with synergies around climate change adaptation and soil health. As a new policy tool, carbon markets like the ESMC are positioned to meet demand for soil health financing, support resilience and ranch productivity, and improve ranchers' access to soil health data for adaptive management. Given carbon markets' outcome-based payment structure, we highlight the importance of complementary governance mechanisms that mitigate upfront risk with financial and technical support during the transition period, including Farm Bill cost-share programs and private sector financing tools. This policy evaluation highlights the challenges and opportunities surrounding rangelands soil carbon governance, particularly the trade-offs that ranchers, corporations, and society at large must consider for landscape-scale conservation programs.
