To present the conceptual and methodological bases for the evaluation of ecosystem services in agricultural and peri-urban areas. Through the contribution of international experts from different disciplinary fields, the objective of this short course is to present the state of the art of ecosystem service assessment methods, while also highlighting their current limitations. A field visit and a round table will illustrate the research questions raised and allow for a debate on possible approaches to valuing ecosystem services.
