Seguridad Alimentaria y Producción Agrícola Sostenible en Ecuador

Resumen

The study addresses the relationship between food security and sustainable agricultural production in Ecuador, highlighting the challenges and opportunities for its implementation. Factors such as climate change, poor water resource management and lack of access to advanced technologies negatively affect agricultural production. Climate variability and extreme events such as droughts and floods have significantly reduced the production of essential crops, increasing food vulnerability. The adoption of sustainable agricultural practices, such as soil conservation, integrated pest management and the use of advanced technologies, has been shown to improve the productivity and resilience of the agricultural sector. Public policies, including smallholder support programs and incentives for sustainable agriculture, are essential to promote these practices. International cooperation also plays a crucial role in technology and knowledge transfer. Despite progress, significant challenges remain, such as limited access to financing and regional inequalities, which must be addressed to ensure equitable and sustainable agricultural develop
