Combining livestock and trees in silvopastoral agroforestry systems has shown to be valuable in fostering the provision of ecosystem services. For farmers, these systems provide an opportunity for diversifying their product range. This study assessed if farmers can additionally translate the ecological value into economic benefits. Applying the concepts of global value chain (GVC) and global production network (GPN) analysis, the evolution of value was analysed for eight farms in the Italian regions of Umbria and Lazio following qualitative interviews. Production benefits and ecosystem services resulting from the silvopastoral systems were perceived to contribute to product value either by (i) minimising inputs or (ii) adding value through the marketing of quality attributes such as environmentally friendly production or nutritional value. Although ecological benefits of the systems are recognised by most farmers of this study, few advertise it. Due to a lack of possibilities to label products from silvopastoral systems as such, farmers must rely on close connections to consumers for marketing or use organic certification if selling over greater distances. Designing public payments to reward the provision of ecosystem services directly could make silvopastoral farming more attractive and encourage wider application.

从农牧业系统中获取生态系统服务的价值:来自某些意大利农场的看法

牧林农林业系统中的牲畜和树木的结合在促进生态系统服务的提供方面显示出了宝贵的价值。对于农民来说,这些系统提供了多样化产品范围的机会。这项研究评估了农民是否还可以将生态价值转化为经济利益。应用全球价值链(GVC)和全球生产网络(GPN)分析的概念,通过定性访谈,对意大利翁布里亚和拉齐奥地区的8个农场的价值演变进行了分析。人们认为,营林牧草系统产生的生产效益和生态系统服务通过(i)减少投入或(ii)通过销售诸如环境友好型生产或营养价值之类的质量属性增加价值,从而对产品价值做出贡献。尽管该系统的生态效益已为大多数研究者所认可,但很少有人宣传它。由于缺乏从类似类似农牧业系统的产品贴标的可能性,农民必须依靠与消费者的紧密联系来进行营销,或者如果销售距离较远,则必须使用有机认证。设计公共支付以直接奖励提供生态系统服务可以使农牧业更具吸引力并鼓励更广泛的应用。
