Best Practice Examples

The main question of the project is: which innovative contracta formal, written agreement for a specified duration signed by (at least) two parties. In Contracts2.0, we acknowledge the existence of informal contracts but use formal contracts to focus the research. More models enhance the provision of environmental public goodsPublic goods are non-rival (they cannot be exhausted) and non-excludable (there are no boundaries). An environmental example in the Contracts2.0 context is an open and beautiful landscape which can be enjoyed by one person without... More while at the same time enabling an economically viable agricultural production?

The project’s focus to approach this questions lies on

1)   Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES)-contracts including agri-environmental schemes (AES)usually comprise several agri-environment-climate measures (AECM). Synonym: Agri-environment-climate schemes See also: Agri-environment-climate measures (AECM), Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) More, that are either results-based and/or collectively implemented

2)   Land tenureLand tenure is an institution, i.e., rules invented by societies to regulate behaviour. Rules of tenure define how property rights to land are to be allocated within societies. They define how access is granted to rights to use, c... More contracts

3)   Contracts associated with the value-chain

All contracta formal, written agreement for a specified duration signed by (at least) two parties. In Contracts2.0, we acknowledge the existence of informal contracts but use formal contracts to focus the research. More types may differ in their design and comprise distinct characteristics, potentially combining different contract-forms.

The classification is set out in the Deliverable “Key concepts to investigate agri-environmental contracts – Shared Conceptual Framework” (D1.1). In the fact sheets below (extracted from the Milestone MS8/2.1), best practice examples are organised according to their prevailing contracta formal, written agreement for a specified duration signed by (at least) two parties. In Contracts2.0, we acknowledge the existence of informal contracts but use formal contracts to focus the research. More type and design characteristic.
