Incentives for Ecosystem Services (IES) to finance the implementation of ecosystem-based approaches (EbA) for adaptation
The protection and enhancement of most ecosystem services in agriculture require an active contribution from farmers. Practices such as terracing, afforesting, agroforestry and conservation tillage are necessary – but farmers need a reason to embark on these activities. The Incentives for Ecosystem Services (IES) approach works with small-holder farmers to develop IES packages of measures that aim to support farmers in the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices, encouraging farmers to protect and deliver more ecosystem services through the better management of crops, livestock, forests and fisheries and the conservation of endangered species and protected habitats.
