dc.description.abstract | Agriculture is considered as one of the major drivers of deforestation worldwide. Especially in Africa, this process is driven by smallscale
agriculture. Agricultural intensification is widely proposed as measure to reduce pressure on forests. Empirical evidence suggests,
however, that winwin
relations between agricultural intensification and forest conservation are the exception. As option, payments for
ecosystem services (PES) could be linked to smallscale
agricultural support programs and safeguard reduced deforestation while
achieving agricultural intensification. Nevertheless, little scientific evidence exists regarding perceptions of potential PES recipients for
such designs. We report from a discrete choice experiment in Zambia, that elicited preferences of small scale farmers for PES
contracts incorporating incentives for agricultural intensification. The experimental design included both monetary and nonmonetary
contract attributes. Our results suggest that potential PES recipients in Zambia value inkind
agricultural inputs higher than cash
payments, highlighting that PES could potentially succeed in conserving forests and intensifying smallscale agriculture. Respondents
also put significant emphasis on improved tenure security and nonmonetary
contract attributes, thus allowing to considerably reduce
overall costs of PES if designed appropriately. | en_US |
