2008, Ecological Economics

AI-generated Abstract

This paper proposes a methodological framework for integrating public demands into the design of multifunctional agriculture, specifically within intensive dairy landscapes in the Netherlands. The framework combines social preferences for agricultural non-market functions with economic assessments to evaluate trade-offs and enhance sustainable agro-landscape planning. The study demonstrates its approach through a case study in the Northern Friesian Woodlands, showcasing the significance of aligning agricultural practices with social expectations to optimize both market and non-market benefits.
