Våren (Payment for Ecosystem Services project in Scandinavia)

Våren is a project in Scandinavia focused on Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES). It aims to financially reward landowners and farmers for managing their land in ways that benefit the environment, such as promoting biodiversity, preventing soil erosion, and improving water quality. By creating a market for these services, Våren encourages sustainable land use practices that support both nature and local economies. This approach recognizes the essential contributions of healthy ecosystems to society and incentivizes the conservation of natural resources for future generations.
