“…Between 1997 and2002, the number of farms in San Miguel County, the study area, decreased by 28%, while acres of farmed land decreased by 18% (NASS 2002a). Land use patterns in Alcalde, NM, show a 553% increase in residential use between1962 and 2003, and a decrease in many crops, with orchard crop area decreasing by 69%, for example, and only pasture area increasing, by 47% (Ortiz et al, 2007).…”

“…Agricultural land provides a variety of ecosystem services, such as open space (Kline & Wichelns, 1994, 1996a, 1996bAdelaja et al, 2006;Adelaja & Lake, 2007;Plantinga & Miller., 2001), wildlife habitat (Nickerson & Lynch 2001), and groundwater recharge (Smith 2006;Fernald et al, 2007;Fernald & Guldan, 2006). This constellation of amenities is also addressed in the agriculture multifunctionality literature (Drake, 1992;Randall, 2002: Rønningen et al, 2004Groenfeldt, 2005). Table 1 displays results from valuation work on agriculture and some other cultural ecosystem services.…”

Abstract. Traditional gravity fed irrigation systems in Hispano communities in New Mexico, USA, are referred to as acequias. Water scarcity is currently motivating negotiations between acequias and municipalities over sharing agreements. Research on willingness to pay to protect and maintain acequias is still scarce. These valuation data could be helpful to improve the quality of water resources decision making and therefore rural development strategies in this region, which is relatively poor compared to the US average.Data from an open-ended CVM survey are used to examine WTP for a program designed to strengthen and perpetuate irrigation and culture on the acequias of El Río de las Gallinas, in rural northeastern New Mexico. Results indicate that the community supports the program in general, with higher levels of support among rural residents and Anglos.

“…This is a key issue in the debate on multifunctionality, which inevitably involves differences in perception and values associated to the rural landscape (Hodge, 1991;Mahé, 2001). On the consumers' side, it clearly involves an empirical question of environmental valuation (Randall, 2002;Lee, Paarlberg and Bredahl, 2005), while the principle issue on the production side of multifunctionality concerns the nature and degree of jointness in production, which requires that the multiple outputs be considered simultaneously (OECD, 2001;Vatn, 2002). These issues are most usefully integrated in the formal framework of an optimal allocation model with competing uses of land and other production factors.…”

Summary We investigate environmental aspects of agriculture from a welfare economic perspective and show that efficiency prices of agricultural and forest land include important amenity and non-use values that exhibit the character of undepletable externalities. To achieve a social optimum these must be internalised, while taking equity concerns into account. We propose compensation of farmers and forest managers according to the marginal external benefit of their land use and a combination of charges and subsidies to improve rural water quality. This is consistent with efficiency requirements and would not cause additional market distortions. Moreover, it would leave the property rights on the land with the farmers and assign the right on clean air and water to the consumers.

“…Many authors have examined the effects of price policies on the production of non-traded outputs (Randall, 2002, Peterson et al, 2002, Romstad, 2004a, the implications of joint production of traded and non-traded outputs (Paarlberg et al, 2002, Havlik et al, 2005 and the possibilities of valuing agriculture's externalities (Boody et al, 2005). The valuation of multifunctional aspects of agriculture, on continent scale, has been highlighted by Randall (2002). Stated preference techniques, such as Contingent Valuation (CV) and Choice Experiments (CE), have been employed in order to attach monetary values to non-traded outputs of agriculture (Yrjola andKola, 2004, Kallas et al, 2007).…”

Abstract. The multifunctional farm sector in Cyprus poses threats on the island's water resources, but also highly contributes to preserving the cultural identity, incomes and employment in rural areas. This paper presents an application of the Choice Experiment method, in order to evaluate these features of Cypriot agriculture, which are externalities, as farmers are not remunerated in markets for such services. The results of the empirical analysis demonstrate that the Cypriot public is in favor of a less intensive pattern of agriculture. Furthermore, Cypriots are willing to pay in order to mitigate adverse environmental effects of agriculture, to improve cultural heritage and to safeguard the continuation of farming trade on the island. The estimated benefits often exceed income losses from changes in the cropping pattern, which verifies that EU rural development policies are regarded as beneficial by the public.
