La théorie et la pratique des paiements pour services environnementaux (PSE): Enseignements tirés et voie à suivre
Le concept de paiements pour services environnementaux (PSE) est devenu un outil important pour préserver l'écosystème et, dans le même temps, améliorer les moyens d'existence des agriculteurs en leur qualité de fournisseurs de services environnementaux. De nombreuses questions restent toutefois en suspens en ce qui concerne la portée des PSE, leur rentabilité pour relever les défis croissants du changement climatique et de la sécurité alimentaire à l'échelon mondial et les hypothèses théoriques de base, largement associées à l'économie néoclassique.
