Abstract

Agricultural land provides not only food and fiber, but also various non-market commodities with characteristics of externalities or public goods. However, more and more chemical inputs lead to frequent environmental pollution. Thus, in order to incentivise farmers to engage in ecological agriculture to provide more ecosystem services, it’s necessary to pay farmers for their loss to change current cultivation approach. This paper studied Hani Rice Terraces System in southwest China, and calculated how much should be paid for paddy eco-compensation based on the subjective decision-making characteristics of individuals and characteristics of a paddy ecosystem. On the one hand, from the perspective of the microeconomic decision-making done by the individual farmers, we investigated the space distribution of the opportunity cost for paddy ecosystem services supply; on the other hand, from the perspective of farmers’ macroeconomic behaviors, we investigated the relationship between the compensation standard and the ecosystem services willingly provided by the farmers. For example, when we need more ecosystem services (80.77 × 104 yuan/ha/yr), the compensation standard is 3000 yuan/ha/yr; when the demand of ecosystem services is to add 219.49 × 104 yuan/ha/yr, the compensation standard should be 9000 yuan/ha/yr.
