Abstract
La sostenibilidad es un concepto dinámico y multicriterial, que intenta mantener la calidad ambiental, la integridad social, una economía viable y equitativa con el tiempo. Los objetivos fueron: determinar las condiciones de vida a nivel de hogar con sistemas productivos de quinua en los Andes ecuatorianos, identificar la dinámica de los indicadores ambientales y sociales de los sistemas productivos de quinua en los Andes ecuatorianos, y diseñar un modelo de escuela de campo sobre la gestión de los indicadores ambientales y sociales con puntajes de desempeño inaceptables.
Description
Sustainability is a dynamic and multi-criteria concept, which attempts to maintain environmental quality, social integrity, and a viable and equitable economy over time. The objectives were: to determine the living conditions at the household level with quinoa production systems in the Ecuadorian Andes, to identify the dynamics of environmental and social indicators of quinoa production systems in the Ecuadorian Andes, and to design a field school model on the management of environmental and social indicators with unacceptable performance scores. Carried out in the parishes of Columbe and Sicalpa in the province of Chimborazo. The methodology consisted of the principles of livelihoods based on the theory of capital, and the principles of sustainability assessment for agriculture and food (SAFA). Due to territorial complexity, the snowball sampling technique was used; 63 surveys were conducted, and KoboToolbox was used to collect the data. 58% of heads of household were women, the average age of male heads of household was 52.77 years, the language most spoken by indigenous people is Quechua, which corresponds to 80.95%, the exchange of seeds corresponds to 6.31%. The environmental indicator, soil quality was in the good category with 3.27%, the limited scores in environmental and social sustainability were: materials and energy and decent livelihood with 2.32% and 1.62% respectively, this allowed to know the existing deficiency, with this arose the implementation of the Agricultural Field School (ECAs) to strengthen the evaluated indicators.
