    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

    Family 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.
