520 3 # |a This book examines methodological difficulties and presents practical methods that can be used in the assessment of the economic and environmental impacts of natural resource management (NRM) in agriculture. Following an introduction, part II (chapters 2-5) examines the valuation of ecosystem services and the measurement of biophysical indicators of NRM impacts. Part III (chapters 6-8) introduces advances in methods used to evaluate the economic and environmental impacts of NRM technology and policy interventions. Part IV (chapters 9-13) deals with NRM impact assessment in practice. Five case studies illustrate the methodological advances discussed in part III. Finally, part V (chapters 14-16) highlights some of the existing controversies and outlines best practices, research issues, and recommendations for NRM impact assessment into the future. The book has a subject index.
