The implementation of the ES approach has been mainly advocated for developing countries (Norgaard, 2010), owing to its claimed merits in this context. First, the ES concept is proposed to act as a boundary object for sustainability science, stimulating the integration of disciplines that were traditionally segregated (Abson et al., 2014). Second, the ES approach is portrayed as being flexible enough so as to be effectively applied in diverse socio-ecological contexts, thereby allowing the production of knowledge relevant for local stakeholders (Opdam et al., 2013). Third, given its focus on the linkages between ecological, economic and social change, the ES approach can help tackling the twin challenges of poverty and environmental degradation (Daw et al., 2011). These characteristics render the ES approach suitable to produce policy-relevant knowledge in countries with economies dependent on its natural capital and diverse and unequal societies. Argentina is a clear example of this situation as it has a large and heterogeneous territory that produces food for ten times the size of its population (400 million people, FAO, 2014), although the benefits derived are unequally distributed (World Bank, 2013).
