In Japan and elsewhere, people often wash their produce before eating it. Why? Is it to rinse off the dirt and insects? Or maybe we are hoping to clean off all the dreaded pesticides?
Perhaps the question is: do we really need those pesticides? One pioneering organic apple grower, Akinori Kimura, has proven that we do not. For years now, he has been inundated by more orders than he can handle from those who want a taste of what has been nicknamed the Miracle Apple.

Located in the northwest part of Costa Rica, Monteverde sits at around 4,000 feet in altitude. It has an ecosystem known as a cloud forest. Cloud forests get their moisture from the Pacific Ocean, the central mountains block that moisture, and it produces an amazing lush forest. This ecosystem was presetved from logging by the locals, and thanks to them this forest will hopefully be around for future generations to appreciate.
My best photos are on Fine Art America, Pixoto and 500px, and if you want to see some great photos in your feed, visit me on Facebook.

It is clear that much land needs to be kept for agricultural use but it is also possible that the area required for food production will stabilize in the future.

The 10 basic steps of designing and implementing an IES process.
The figure provides a basic look at a ‘10 step process’ to help you familiarize yourself with the steps to setting up and implementing an Incentives for Ecosystem Services (IES) system. These steps cover everything from envisioning the basic concept at the outset, to determining what and who to include, to steps to bring people and information together, and steps to monitor progress and improve the system after it has been implemented.

I am absolutely delighted to let you know that my new album, 'ECOSYSTEMS' has just been published: stanislav.photography/ecosystems
It has been presented at the Club of Rome 50th Anniversary meeting, the United Nations COP24 conference on climate change, a large exhibition held at the Mathematical Institute of Oxford University and the Environment Europe Oxford Spring School in Ecological Economics and now at the United Nations World Urban Forum 2020. There are only 450 copies left so you will have to be quick: stanislav.photography/ecosystems
You are most welcome to explore my new website: stanislav.photography/ and a totally new blog: environmenteurope.wordpress.com/

Ad-hoc Ecosystem is a prototype of an urban planning tool for Futurefarmer's Great Park project and the California Biennial. This project was developed with Enrique Grullon and Juan Ospina. This application allows users to visualize the Great Park's "health" and manage sections of the park by adding or removing items (open spaces, agriculture, cultural institutions, residential areas). These changes are visible in real-time and reflected over the whole park.

The figure shows locations of case studies of IES in the Himalayas.
The case studies cover water management, forest management, and tourism, recreation and hunting. IES systems involve long-term collaboration and involvement. Over time, IES systems can be improved, expanded and applied to other places to deepen their impact and ensure ecosystem service benefits continue to flow in perpetuity.

Rallying the Troops: Instructions and work assignments are given to 80 volunteers from the United States Naval Academy, Team Rubicon, and Wounded Warrior Project.
Identifying key stakeholders for an Ecosystem Services (IES) system (adopted from the Sustainable Livelihoods Framework, IFAD).
Beyond general scoping, in any IES system, it is important to identify and consult with key stakeholders, including specific producers and consumers of ecosystem service(s). It is important to understand the motivations, limitations and needs of each stakeholder group. This may occur through discussions with key informants, analysis of existing documents, and research on policy and tenure rights.

The resilience has become a prominent aspect of management and research due to their extensive provision of ecosystem services and their vulnerability to multiple threats. The scientific understanding of the drivers underpinning seagrass resilience has advanced rapidly in recent years. Factors shown to be important can be categorized in terms of whether they are characteristics of the meadow itself or the surrounding environment, either biological or biophysical.
