A public/private benefits framework for the design of polices oriented to sustainability in agriculture: An application to olive growing

- An integrated framework for policy design oriented to olive sustainability is proposed.
- Multiple functions of agriculture, stakeholders, and benefits/costs are considered.
- Soil management, fertilization, irrigation and pruning practices highly impact sustainability.
- Extension, agri-environment schemes and territorial contracts may improve sustainability.
- Sustainability is not incompatible with private benefits for olive growers.
