Valoración económica de las técnicas sostenibles de manejo del suelo en el olivar andaluz

In this paper we present An application of a multicriteria evaluation technique is presented for estimating the social and individual demand functions for the implementation of sustainable soil management techniques in Andalusian olive groves. Our results show that the social demand function is linear even when individual ones are not. The Andalusian society would be willing to pay 27 Euros per hectare for the implementation of soil management protechniques, which are more compatible with the environment, by generating less erosion, more biodiversity and more CO2 fixationin soils. Moreover, the Andalusian society is willing to pay an additional 10 Euros per hectare for the provision of other public goods supplied by regional olive ecosystems.
