  • B. Development of Supply Curves for Environmental Compensation
    Proceedings of the 3rd INFER Symposium on Agri-Tech Economics for Sustainable Futures 21st – 22nd September 2020, Harper Adams University, Newport, United Kingdom. Compiled and edited by Karl Behrendt and Dimitrios Paparas Harper Adams University, Global Institute for Agri-Tech Economics, Land, Farm and Agribusiness Management Department Copyright 2020 by submitting Authors listed in papers. All rights reserved. Readers may make verbatim copies of this document for non-commercial purposes by any means, provided that this copyright notice appears on all such copies. Development of supply curves for environmental compensation measures on farmland on the example of the Stuttgart Region in Germany Christian Sponagel, Hans Back, Elisabeth Angenendt and Enno Bahrs Institute of Farm Management, Stuttgart, Germany Abstract Impacts on nature and landscape in Germany must be compensated for in accordance with the Federal Nature Conservation Act. Farmers can participate by voluntarily applying appropriate measures on their land. We used a geodata-based model to analyse environmental compensation measures on arable land from an economic perspective on the example of the Stuttgart Region, a metropolitan area where construction activities and their compensation are huge, exemplary for many European metropolises. In order to estimate a possible realistic potential, the willingness to accept for compensation measures previously determined in a discrete choice experiment with farmers in the Stuttgart region was integrated into the model. The analysis compares the economic viability of current agricultural use with the income generated from the sale of so called ecopoints by supply curve. The results show wide variation in ecopoint potential in spatial terms. The implementation of compensation measures is not economically reasonable, depending on the legal security provided by a land register entry at a price of less than 1.00 € per ecopoint in the Stuttgart city district.
