By presenting a Choice Experiment (CE) methodology to assess the willingness-to-pay (WTP) for protecting biodiversity services in agricultural areas, the seminar discusses the why and how to place a monetary value on biodiversity. The CE survey took place in the Province of Milan, Italy, and analyses individual preferences for alternative scenarios of rice production practices leading to improvement in landscape and birds biodiversity, and to reduction in mosquitoes proliferation.
