Can Environmental Markets Pay for More Sustainable Farm Dams? A Cost–Benefit Analysis
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Farm dams are widespread artificial waterbodies that play a critical role in agricultural water security. Enhancing these systems through sustainable interventions such as fencing, hardened access points, and revegetation can improve water quality and deliver carbon and biodiversity co‐benefits.
