Item Efecto de la participación de la agricultura familiar y campesina en la producción de alimentos para la seguridad alimentaria en la Provincia de Tungurahua en los cantones Píllaro, Mocha y Tisaleo(Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ciencia e Ingeniería en Alimentos y Biotecnología. Carrera de Ingeniería en Alimentos, 2023-09) Vargas Ipaz, Paola Elizabeth; Franco Crespo, Christian DavidFamily farming is important throughout Ecuador because it is the main source of work and food for the entire population. However, food production must be planned in order to avoid excess and, as a consequence, overproduction, thus endangering food security. The methodology used in this work includes a mathematical model to determine the production zones in the cantons of Píllaro, Mocha and Tisaleo. For this, we used the GAMS (General Algebraic Modeling System) software, which is designed to solve problems of linear and nonlinear systems, as well as the use of SPSS Statistics, which allows us to perform statistical analysis and descriptions, among others. The data obtained from the surveys of 244 farming families in the three cantons and the collection of data on the main crops through MAGAP helped us determine the production and yield of the most harvested crops in each canton. Therefore, the results obtained indicate that the current agricultural production guarantees the availability of food throughout the year, ensuring that all people have access at all times, thus guaranteeing food security for the entire population.Item Efecto de la participación de la agricultura familiar y campesina en la producción de alimentos para la seguridad alimentaria en la Provincia de Tungurahua en los cantones Píllaro, Mocha y Tisaleo(Universidad Técnica de Ambato.

Facultad de Ciencia e Ingeniería en Alimentos y Biotecnología. Carrera de Ingeniería en Alimentos, 2022-03) Vallejo Mena, Jeremias George; Franco Crespo, Christian DavidThis project is focuses in analyzing the information on the agroecological contribution towards food security in Ecuador, since the year 2015. This análisis consider positive and negative factors that was developed from public policies stablished in previous years. The main objective is to offer relevant information on agroecology focused on food security, sovereignty and food availability. The main actors, talking-decisions, programs and applications that have been developed in Ecuador. The study explains some principles of the applicability of agroecology, how it was established in the country and how it has been involved in food security. Moreover, some results explain which are the beneficiary groups and how they have applied it, emphasizing that the aforementioned It is developed, after comparing the world to the country. Considering that agroecology has been established in the country for several years, all relevant information on food security will be used and related to agroecology. Agroeocology in Ecuador is a factor favorable to food security since its objectives lie in the growth of food products, nutrition, reconstruction of ecosystem services and the sustainability of agricultural production, considering the concept of food security, relating it to the agroecology is inevitable. All this in order to reach the conclusion of how agroecology has contributed and how it has influenced the country's food security.Item Análisis de empresas productoras de alimentos de base comunitaria para la seguridad y soberanía alimentaria en la provincia de Tungurahua(Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ciencia e Ingeniería en Alimentos y Biotecnología. Carrera de Ingeniería en Alimentos, 2022-03) Tiban Yanchatuña, Luis Fernando; Franco Crespo, Christian DavidSocial economy organizations work in rural development with the production of healthy food with added value for self-consumption and fair markets. This means an alternative to take advantage of food resources. Moreover, these organizations are part of the local economy, generating income and employment, eradicating poverty and contributing to environmental protection. In order to improve the living conditions of the parties involved. In this context, the objective of the research is to analyze community-based food production enterprises that contribute to food security and sovereignty in the province of Tungurahua. The methodology had a mixed approach of descriptive scope based on its contrast through the survey and interview. Through the analysis of the results obtained, twenty-one community enterprises focused on the production of minimally processed foods were identified, basically processed and processed foods such as oil, condiments, dairy, meat, snacks, cereals, canned food and beverages; discarding the production of ultra-processed foods, which generates a positive impact on consumers. The commercialization of food and beverages at fair prices has been possible through marketing channels between the producer and the consumer. In addition, there have been several limitations, which have not allowed achieving greater productivity as a priority for the sustainability of community enterprises. The conclusion derived from the analysis is that community enterprises contribute to food security and sovereignty for Tungurahua families through healthy food and care of the ecosystem. However, there are still needs to ensure the sustainability of production and marketing.Item Análisis de las limitaciones de procesamiento de alimentos agroecológicos en la ciudad de Ambato(Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ciencia e Ingeniería en Alimentos y Biotecnología. Carrera de Ingeniería en Alimentos, 2022-03) Bravo Sánchez, Estefanía Carolina; Franco Crespo, Christian DavidAt present, the agroecological production system is considered of vital importance due to the characteristics of the product that are related to the quality of the food, including reliability, durability and ease of maintenance. Agroecological food processing is sustainable and pollutes less than a conventional production system. In addition, the conventional system, having technified processes, results in greater energy and resource expenditure, directed unsustainable over time. The research aimed to analyze the limitations of agroecological food processing in the city of Ambato. The análisis was carried out through surveys applied to organic food producers that are located in the city of Ambato in order to determine what are the limitations for the production of organic food and the potentialities in agroecological production for the development of the market. The results obtained from the study indicate that there is a great diversity of foods in the area, which is why they give added value in the market, especially to the line of vegetables, fruits and cereals. The lack of knowledge and training is a limitation for agroecological producers to reach the market where theseproducts are directed. 11 percent of producers interviewed have organic certification, while 89 percent do not, which limits the marketing of their direct-to-consumer products in supermarkets. As a result, the development of value-added organic food production and its consumption should be encouraged even more.Item Análisis de la Política Alimentaria en el Ecuador a partir del año 2018(Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ciencia e Ingeniería en Alimentos y Biotecnología. Carrera de Ingeniería en Alimentos, 2021-09) Molina Pullutasig, Nataly Rocío; Franco Crespo, Christian DavidThis research project is focused on the analysis of the country's situation in terms of food policy, finding negative factors that have been carried over from previous years and have not been able to be reduced or eradicated despite the development of various projects. The main objective is to provide relevant information on food policy within the framework of food security, availability and sovereignty, the programs and proposals that have been carried out to eradicate the problems, and a comparison in relation to other countries. It is intended to know more fully the problems of malnutrition, poverty and food insecurity, and how it affects the population of the country and which are the most vulnerable groups. The aforementioned is described after a compilation of information after 2018, both nationally and internationally.Item Análisis del consumo de alimentos agroecológicos y su relación con la alimentación saludable enfocado a los productores de la organización PACAT y consumidores de la feria Pachano en Tungurahua – Ambato(Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ciencia e Ingeniería en Alimentos y Biotecnología. Carrera de Ingeniería en Alimentos, 2021-09) Vélez Llerena, Aarón Joel; Franco Crespo, Christian DavidThe agroecological production model allows the use of ancestral techniques to improve agricultural production processes. Doing this it influences different aspects such as social, cultural, economic and even health of the people. The foods derived from this activity are made without the application of agrochemicals that can be harmful to the body, which makes them a very attractive product to improve the quality of life, change traditional production models and take care of the environment. The analysis of this research was carried out by applying surveys aimed at producers and consumers in order to determine the socioeconomic factors that are related to the demand for agroecological foods, identify aspects that influence consumption and the difference in the preference of food that exists in both groups evaluated. It was determined that the main socioeconomic factor that influences the consumption of agroecological products is the level of education since people with a bachelor's degree and third level consume a higher percentage of this type of food. The eating habits of producers and consumers differ from each other, influencing the presence of diseases. Overweight is the disease mainly suffered by producers, while in consumers it is hypertension. The results show that they should use better promotion techniques for these types of products to encourage healthy eating, strengthen the local economy and take care of the environment.Item Análisis del consumo de alimentos agroecológicos y su relación con la alimentación saludable enfocado a los productores de la organización PACAT y consumidores de la feria Pachano en Tungurahua – Ambato(Universidad Técnica de Ambato.

Facultad de Ciencia e Ingeniería en Alimentos y Biotecnología. Carrera de Ingeniería en Alimentos, 2021-01) Lozada Guevara, Landy Fernanda; Franco Crespo, Christian DavidCurrently, factors have modified our eating habits such as short time spent at home, multitasking, fast food advertisements, availability, and accessibility of food, which cause the loss of perspective of a proper diet. The objective of the research was to analyze comparatively the food diet in a small group of families in the urban and rural areas of Ambato and Píllaro towns. The report about the food diets component has obtained by applying a Consumption Frequency Questionnaire to the urban area of Ambato and a form open and closed-ended questions to the rural area of Píllaro. The findings achieved to show the existence of several ranges of foods, especially from fruits, greens, and vegetables. The frequency of potatoes consumption in both urban and rural areas is high. The consumption of milk in the rural area is more frequent, as well as the guinea pig meat, on the other hand, the three processed products such as rice, sugar, and bread are consumed 4 or more times per week. Farmer´s knowledge of agroecology reaches 71 percent and while 75 percent of the people in the urban zone claim to consume organic products. Finally, the Healthy Eating Index shows that the urban population needs changes in their diet, having reached a score of 45.5, while the score obtained by the farmers is 79, 5 that it seems like a healthy diet.Item Identificación de modelos de producción sostenible de alimentos en el cantón Píllaro como aporte a la soberanía alimentaria(Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ciencia e Ingeniería en Alimentos y Biotecnología. Carrera de Ingeniería en Alimentos, 2020-09) Andrade Sánchez, Viviana Nathaly; Franco Crespo, Christian DavidThe need for healthy and nutritious food production that enhances food sovereignty has been a concern of many governments. Therefore, this work was carried out with the purpose of identifying sustainable food production models in Píllaro County as a contribution to food sovereignty. To this end, a survey was applied with agro-ecological parameters, where variables such as: type of production (agricultural and livestock), size of land (approximate area per farmer), quantity produced (volume of production for each item), and crop diversification (number of crops used per plot of land) were studied. Through this method, an extensive list of agricultural species cultivated by the population analyzed was found. Through the analysis of results, three agro-food models with sustainable production were identified. These models are based on crop diversification and have been established as high, medium and low diversification agro-food models. Similarly, Food Sovereignty was evaluated in order to ascertain the contribution of the models identified. For this evaluation, indicators of Food Sovereignty were used, taking into account five parameters: access to resources, production, processing and marketing models, food consumption and the right to food, and agrarian policies. These results demonstrate the influence of agrifood models on Food Sovereignty in Píllaro canton and prove that crop diversification allows for the availability of varied foods.
