Evaluating the actual value associated with goods and services provided by agrobiodiversity requires better communication between ecologists and economists, and the realization of the consequences of either overrating its value based on 'received wisdom' about potential services, or underrating it by only acknowledging its future option or quasi-option value.

Thus risk may be viewed as the absolute value of expected losses.
The distributions of the utilities are obtained from the first-order reliability method to provide (i) good tradeoff between accuracy and efficiency, and (ii) rational decision making by evaluating the most critical realizations of the consequences of each alternative through the design point.

Scientists must strive to know the Earth system in its functional entirety to develop the tools necessary to project the future state in response to natural and societal impacts, as well as to estimate the overall consequences of the realization of these scenarios on human wellbeing.
As a consequence, older people's realization of social well-being depends increasingly on behavioral confirmation and affection.
