The Ecosystem Services through co-production concept

Farming activity is an ecosystem-dependent economic activity. Ecosystem Services concept can help to read the forms of this dependence. This work suggests a multidisciplinar interpretation of the relationship of different farm typologies with ecosystems. The work, after a rich conceptual introduction, analyses three different case studies to enlight different aspects of the farm-ecosystem relationships (agronomic, economic, normative, social) suggesting possible innovative paths for sustainable farm development.
