    Evaluación del efecto del cambio climático y la perdida de agrobiodiversidad en la comunidad de Santa Lucia, parroquia Antonio José Holguín, cantón Salcedo
    (2020-10) Romero González, Irma Gabriela; Valle Velastegui, Edgar Luciano
    The influence of agricultural activity, like all anthropic activities, is very great within the environmental impact, mainly speaking of the loss of agrobiodiversity and climate change. By using more sustainable production methods, the effects of agriculture on the environment can be mitigated. There is no doubt that, in some cases, agriculture can play an important role in reversing these effects, for example by storing carbon in soils, improving water filtration, and conserving rural landscapes and biodiversity. The general objective of this research is to evaluate the effect of climate change and the loss of agrobiodiversity in the community of Santa Lucía, Antonio José Holguín parish, Salcedo canton. The basic modality used in this research is bibliographic and documented, within a quantitative approach with observation and information gathering through interviews and surveys. The level of the investigation is explanatory or causal. A survey was applied to a population of 208 farmers. Based on the results obtained and the analysis carried out, it can be concluded that climate change does affect agrobiodiversity in the Antonio José Holguín parish in the Salcedo canton, Cotopaxi province, complying with H1. To conclude, it is important to state that a lot of work must be done in the socialization of national and sectional laws, regulations, norms and policies regarding the management of natural resources and how to combat climate change since 80% of the respondents do not know this information. In short and as a summary, many things must be done in favor of agrobiodiversity, the fight against climate change and sovereignty and security within the Antonio José Holguín parish, and that this be a benchmark for other parishes in the management of this matter.
