Elaboración de un modelo para el desarrollo sustentable de agroecosistemas de la comunidad el guzo, Cantón Penipe.

Abstract

In Guzo community , head of Penipe canton located in Chimborazo province, a mathematical model for the sustainable development of agroecosystems was developed, so that the information was collected through surveys, using agricultural, livestock and economic indicators, it was determined that Saanen corn, blackberry, potato, grass and goat cattle were the main agricultural elements considered in the city as icons for the development of strategies aimed at having sustainable development of farms. It was categorized into three different categories according to territorial extension: small UPAs (less than 5000 m2), medium UPAs (5001-12000 m2) and large UPAs (greater than 12001 m2). It was concluded that not all items are economically profitable, since they are mainly determined by the extension of the land: taking into account blackberries and beans cultivations as the most viable within agricultural items, livestock items, guinea pig and goat species are the most affordable. In this way we determine that the economic indexes are related to the size of the SSF, In this way we determine that the economic indexes are related to the size of the UPAs, In this way, It was determined that the economic indexes are related to the size of the UPAs, which the most efficient and generates greater economic profitability of 12000 m2 responding to the following equation. NPV = 1555 + 1,0676 (Surface) +1,849 (Potato Kg) -4,187 (corn Kg) +0,307 (bean kg) -1,577 (Peach Kg) - (0,1315 Cow Milk Lt.). It was recommended to carry out a model simulation to measure the impact on ex-ante vs. ex-post sustainability indicators.
