Putting a price on nature Many natural resources and ecosystem services, such as food, seeds, fuel, medicines and building materials, are key elements of the global economy. 
Putting a price on nature Many natural resources and ecosystem services, such as food, seeds, fuel, medicines and building materials, are key elements of the global economy.
But many ecosystem services are less visible in economic terms because they have no market price, and they tend to be overlooked in a market-based economic system.
