Ecosystem Services for Pastoral Business

My objective in writing this report is to increase awareness of cultural valuations of ecosystem services and how ranchers can leverage environmental benefits on their land. One major challenge looming for cattle producers is the competing alternatives for land use predominantly because of lower comparative valuation of monetary return per acre of pasture. To address this challenge, ranchers require payments for the provision of ecosystem services from society to balance between dollars’ worth of production and the investments farmers contribute to enhancing ecological goods and services on their land. My report on the interface between cattle production and nature will clarify how nature underpins all economic benefits with
ecological services it provides through improving soil health, water and air quality, and pollination potential for all major food crops.
