Abstract

This viewpoint is based on the premise that it may be reasonable to further integrate the ecosystem services (ES) concept into agri-environmental policies, particularly into agri-environmental measures (AEMs). Building on this, we show that collaboration between the government and civil society actors (CSAs) may offer many opportunities to integrate the ES concept into AEMs. Furthermore, we demonstrate how collaboration with CSAs can be fostered and we provide some future research directions that should be considered. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
