Given the importance of environmental services, why are they not provided at higher levels? Environmental services are produced (or degraded) through the interaction of natural processes and the actions of individual decision-makers, including agricultural producers. For a variety of reasons, the full value of these impacts is not reflected in the incentives faced by ecosystem service providers. As a result, providers’ actions may diverge from those desired by beneficiaries as a group.
