Average farm sizes:

102 ha in 2000 (Sánchez-Azofeifa et al. 2007)

165 ha in 2005 (Arriagada et al. 2012)

What is the role of small farmers?

Improvement in decision-making with ES bundles

Open and easy to use and understand technology for natural resources*

Exportable to similar AFS situations

Poverty alleviation

New insight in TMCFs as ES providers

Importance of the research

Page 9: Payments for Ecosystem Services Using Product Bundles to ... · Payments for Ecosystem Services Using Product Bundles to. Prevent Deforestation in Tropical Montane Cloud Forests .

Identify and measure ES in selected areas

Developing a PES which includes less favored or excluded farmers

Analyze the socio-economic impact

Understand stakeholder’s perceptions and interests

Objectives

Page 10: Payments for Ecosystem Services Using Product Bundles to ... · Payments for Ecosystem Services Using Product Bundles to. Prevent Deforestation in Tropical Montane Cloud Forests .

How can be ES effectively measured and monitored?

What factors drive land use change in TMCFs?

How stakeholders perceive PES?
