    The development of the rural population has been a topic of interest for many sectors, through the emergence of new strategies a new way to generate economic and social equality through fair marketing networks is proposed. Therefore, the present work was carried out with the purpose of analyzing the short agroecological food marketing systems as a contribution to the productive development of the rural sector of the canton of Píllaro. For this purpose, a form was applied consisting of open and closed questions that contemplate variables such as: age, number of family members, amount of land, size of land, quantity produced, variety of product, sales channels, travel time to the points of sale. Data analysis revealed the existence of a wide variety of vegetable species, especially vegetables, which are distributed through three channels: markets, agroecological fairs and home delivery baskets. The price of products in agroecological fairs and home delivery baskets is usually higher than that offered in wholesale markets, and the short circuits allow for proximity to the consumer, which provides greater confidence in the products offered. For the evaluation of the indicators, the IDEA method was used, which establishes 3 scales: agroecological, socio-territorial and economic sustainability, obtaining a score of 35.2 for the sustainability scale, 30.52 for the socio-territorial part and 17.5 for the economic part. These results show a sustainable system that allows the environmental, social and economic improvement of the producers of the rural sector of Píllaro.

    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 David
    The 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.
