He will explain the concept of joint production in agriculture and its multifunctionality role in rural territory and society, public and private goods (market and non-market goods) of economic/agricultural activities, the concept of externality, the difference between the price and the value; different values of natural resources or public goods (productive, value and non-value use, legacy value, option value, conservation, etc.); methods of valuation, etc. 
After that, the main time will be focused to explain some practical and empirical cases, based on our previous studies on the valuation of agricultural/rural landscape, to show how we can valuate, using some methods of valuations as the Conjoint Analysis and Contingent Valuation, to estimate the aesthetic value (monetary and non-monetary of mountainous agricultural landscape), according to social demands.
