The demand for recognition of the extreme contributions made by agriculture plays a significant role in the current agricultural policy discussion. This book aims to contribute to this discussion. By analyzing various approaches to recognition, particularly in the area of ecological services, it seeks to highlight the opportunities and challenges associated with compensating extreme contributions. The authors would like to thank the Bavarian State Ministry for Food, Agriculture and Forestry for providing the financial resources for this research project. Special thanks go to Ministerial Councilor Dr. Theo Weber for his commitment and valuable support. Furthermore, heartfelt thanks are extended to all individuals who were contacted during the preparation of this work and who contributed through their insights.
