To measure the environmental effect of a scheme a distinction will be made between performance and outcomes. Performance relates to the uptake of the schemes and the effects on agricultural practices as described in the agreements. The outcomes relate to the effects of farming on the quality of the environment and subsequently the provision of ecosystem services (ES)are the direct and indirect contributions of nature to human well-being (TEEB 2010; CICES classification). Ecosystem services include the terms ecosystem goods and services (Albert et al., 2016), and environmental services. In man... More. The impact model is thus, following Primdahl et al. (2003):
1) implemented AECM
2) adapted farming practices
3) effects on the adapted farming practices on environmental quality.

Mapping is a useful tool to illustrate the spatial mismatch between ecosystem services (ES)are the direct and indirect contributions of nature to human well-being (TEEB 2010; CICES classification).

Maps are useful for communication with stakeholders and to support decision-making. An indicator is selected per ecosystem service. Models or other quantification methods generate the values for this indicator, which are displayed on the maps (Crossman et al. 2013).

Entrepreneurial Attitude Orientation (EAO) is a model to evaluate entrepreneurs’ attitude regarding decision making processes (Robinson et al., 1991). The subscales of the EAO measure individuals’ attitudes across four constructs: achievement in business (referring to the results of starting and growing a business venture); innovation in business (using innovative methods in business activities); perceived personal control of business outcomes (individual’s control and influence on his/her business); and perceived self-esteem in business (self-confidence and perceived competency in business affairs). EAO is assumed to have an influence on the market orientation.
