Variables socio-organizacionales y demográficas que influyen en la sostenibilidad organizacional agroecológica

Abstract

Agroecological organizational sustainability has taken on special importance to improve the resilience of agricultural systems and promote fairer and more sustainable food systems. In this context, this article includes a quantitative study of 131 agroecological associations in the province of Azuay, allowing us to analyze the incidence of three key variables in their organizational sustainability: age, number of members and geographic location. A quantitative methodology was adopted to determine the level of incidence of these variables in the environmental, social and economic dimensions of agroecological organizational sustainability. The results show a significant impact of the three variables on the sustainability of the organizations under study. In conclusion, the information obtained is useful for designing and implementing strategies that contribute to the creation of networks and alliances between associations, which could increase their impact and improve the promotion of sustainable agroecological and food practices in the region and the country.
