The value of agricultural landscape in Slovakia

The article deals with the landscape as one of the key public goods produced by agriculture. The vast majority of our territory is covered by agricultural landscape and forests. The emphasis is on agricultural landscape especially small farms and large farms and their inevitable role in determining both the health of rural economies and the rural landscape. The absence of a market for landscape implies that there is no immediately observable price. The objective for economic valuation in this context is to provide the relevant willingness to pay for landscape. The author estimated the willingness to pay of Slovak citizens for both small farms and large farms in Slovakia.
