Pricing of ecosystem services in agriculture: a basis of crop insurance[electronic resource] /by Pratap Bhattacharyya ... [et al.]. - Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :2022. - xvii, 146 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

1 Concept and approaches of ecosystem services in agriculture -- 2 Pricing of agricultural products, soil, and water management -- 3 Pricing of soil and water conservation in agriculture -- 4 Pricing of carbon sequestration and environmental regulation -- 5 Pricing of renewable energy-based applications in agriculture -- 6 Crop insurance based on payment of ecosystem services.

The book deals with the pricing of ecosystem services provided by agriculture. All provisioning, regulating, supporting and cultural services are being covered in this title. Chapters in this contributed volume cover topics such as pricing of services from the soil, water, and nutrient management. Quantified monetary values of carbon sequestration and renewable energy applications in agriculture are covered with clear-cut methodologies. This book also links ecosystem service-based pricing with crop insurance. Improving the farmers' livelihood is the central goal of the agricultural production system throughout the world. Under the climate change context, farms' produce is now climate-vulnerable and heavily dependent on weather conditions. Moreover, we often neglect the contribution of several positive impacts of agricultural practices on ecosystems and natural resources. Therefore, there is a need to quantify and value these ecosystem services in agriculture. However, valuation and pricing the services in agriculture both tangible and intangible is a challenge. It is necessary to have clear-cut methodologies for pricing ecosystem services of agriculture in terms of net monetary benefits. The ecosystem service-based pricing could be a solid basis for calculating the insurance to farmers in case of occurrence of natural hazard and associated crop damage. This book is of interest to scholars, teachers, researchers, environmental scientists, watershed managers, capacity builders, and policymakers. The book also serves as effective reading material for undergraduate and graduate students of agriculture economics, ecology, agronomy, and environmental sciences. National and international agricultural scientists, policymakers will also find this to be useful.
