Key projects results are the assessment of the contribution of agrobiodiversity to the economic resilience of the agriculture sector and the valuation of policies for the conservation of agrobiodiversity. The econometric analysis explores whether long run agricultural productivity is affected by agrobiodiversity at both local scale and regional scale. Agrobiodiversity is measured by richness of agricultural land cover types, their abundance and the Shannon index. We found that agrobiodiversity significantly affects farmland values and the effect is often nonlinear , and that the impact of regional agrobiodiversity is larger than the impact of local agrobiodiversity. These complex effects are introduced into ICES CGE model to determine how the economy would respond if agrobiodiversity was increased by about 10%. Results show substantial economic impacts on the agricultural sector, although they differ greatly among measures of agrobiodiversity and their scale. Direct impact propagates to the whole economy affecting considerably the food industry and the services sector of the region where the change occurs, but also of the neighboring regions.
