This paper studies joint provision of two environmental non-market commodities related to agriculture: biodiversity conservation and water protection. We provide an optimising tool for analysing spatial dependencies of multifunctional agriculture at catchment scale. We show that efficiency gains can be achieved by spatial allocation and choice of the type of vegetation. In particular, inclusion of meadow nectar plants in the founding grass seed mixture of set-asides was found out to be an economically efficient measure to promote biodiversity and water protection on warm, steep slopes.
生物多样性保护和水保护。我们提供了一种优化工具，用于分析集水区尺度多功能农业的空间相关性。我们表明，通过空间分配和植被类型的选择可以实现效率的提高。特别是，在休耕的初始草种混合物中加入草地花蜜植物被发现是一种经济有效的措施，可以促进温暖、陡峭山坡上的生物多样性和水保护。
