Originating at the base of the Vosges mountains in north-east France the water must be within quality requirements to call itself ‘natural mineral water’. Agricultural intensification in the areas surrounding the ‘grande source’ meant the Vittel brand name could be jeopardised if nitrate levels from fertilisers continued to rise.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://inthegreen.typepad.com/blog/2008/06/perfect-payment.html">Vittel created a PES scheme with local farmers. It abolished debt linked to land acquisition, provided subsidies to about 200 euros/hectare/year over five years, up to 150,000 euros per farm, free labour to apply compost to fields, and free technical assistance. All this plus long-term contracts to guarantee security for the farmers. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://inthegreen.typepad.com/blog/2008/06/perfect-payment.html">So it is, apparently, a successful example indeed, which is great. However, how replicable is this example? </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/DBEF4F13-2ED3-48FB-893C-FAA140DC294D/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
