The author combines field research and insights from the multi-stakeholder dialogue at the FAO to analyze the gap between the predictions provided by theory and the corresponding outcomes in practice. In particular, the author challenges the theory behind Payments for Environmental Services (PES), a concept derived from neoclassical welfare economics, by demonstrating that PES projects often lack financial sustainability unless local entrepreneurs make use of the resulting new networks to create innovative markets for environmental goods. The author calls for a shift of focus from regulation to innovation in projects and policies designed to improve the provision of environmental services. Its spotlight on the positive social impacts of companies that engage in hybrid PES schemes will make the book appealing to practitioners and policymakers alike. "This book is a refreshing challenge to conventional approaches to payments for environmental services. It offers a more realistic framework that accounts for human creativity and innovation in environmental management." Professor Calestous Juma, Harvard Kennedy School,Cambridge, MA, USA (Author of the "The New Harvest: Agricultural Innovation in Africa", Oxford University Press 2011) "Philipp Aerni offers a most useful critical assessment of the theory and practice of payments for ecosystem services. His book helps us understand why such payments sometimes fail to reach their objectives, and what could be done about it, particularly in less developed countries."  Professor Thomas Bernauer, ETH Zurich, Switzerland. 410 0$aCSR, Sustainability, Ethics & Governance,$x2196-7083 606 $aEnvironmental economics 606 $aBusiness ethics 606 $aSustainability 606 $aAgriculture$xEconomic aspects 606 $aTechnological innovations 606 $aEthics 606 $aEnvironmental Economics 606 $aBusiness Ethics 606 $aSustainability 606 $aAgricultural Economics 606 $aInnovation and Technology Management 606 $aMoral Philosophy and Applied Ethics 615 0$aEnvironmental economics. 615 0$aBusiness ethics. 615 0$aSustainability. 615 0$aAgriculture$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aTechnological innovations. 615 0$aEthics. 615 14$aEnvironmental Economics. 615 24$aBusiness Ethics. 615 24$aSustainability. 615 24$aAgricultural Economics. 615 24$aInnovation and Technology Management. 615 24$aMoral Philosophy and Applied Ethics. 676 $a333.7 700 $aAerni$b Philipp$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0963250 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254873203321 996 $aThe Sustainable Provision of Environmental Services$92184045 997 $aUNINA
