Resumen
Este estudio investiga las dimensiones de la sostenibilidad y su influencia en la
sostenibilidad financiero económica (SFE) en sistemas agroforestales tradicionales
(SAFT) utilizando el caso de la Chakra Amazónica. Los objetivos principales fueron
analizar las dimensiones de sostenibilidad y establecer las relaciones causales entre
estas dimensiones y la SFE. Para llevar a cabo esta investigación, se seleccionaron 330
hogares en la provincia de Napo que utilizan el sistema de Chakra Amazónica para
cultivar cacao, con el fin de analizar la relación entre las diferentes dimensiones de
sostenibilidad y la SFE en este contexto único. Los resultados del estudio muestran que
las prácticas relacionadas con la seguridad alimentaria (SA) y los factores empresariales
(FE) impactan positiva y significativamente la SFE de los hogares productores de cacao
en el sistema de Chakra Amazónica. Estos hallazgos respaldan la importancia de
garantizar la disponibilidad y calidad de los alimentos y promover prácticas
empresariales responsables en estos entornos. En contraste, las dimensiones de
resiliencia ambiental (RA) y conservación de la biodiversidad (CB) impactaron
negativamente la SFE, destacando un desequilibrio económico financiero en relación
con las acciones de conservación y resiliencia ambiental en la Chakra Amazónica. Este
estudio contribuye al conocimiento necesario para promover prácticas agrícolas que
incluyan un enfoque equitativo en la SFE, la conservación de la biodiversidad y la
resiliencia ambiental en un área de importancia global, proporcionando información
valiosa para el diseño de políticas y prácticas agrícolas sostenibles en la Chakra
Amazónica.
This study investigates the dimensions of sustainability and their influence on financial economic sustainability (FES) in traditional agroforestry systems (TAFS) using the case of the Amazonian Chakra. The main objectives were to analyze the sustainability dimensions and establish the causal relationships between these dimensions and the FES. To carry out this research, 330 households in Napo Province that use the Amazonian Chakra system to grow cocoa were selected to analyze the relationship between the different dimensions of sustainability and FES in this unique context. The study results show that practices related to food security (FS) and business factors (BF) positively and significantly impact the FES of cocoa producing households in the Amazonian Chakra system. These findings support the importance of ensuring the availability and quality of food and promoting responsible business practices in these environments. In contrast, the dimensions of environmental resilience (ER) and biodiversity conservation (BC) negatively impacted FES, highlighting an economic financial imbalance in relation to conservation and environmental resilience actions in the Amazonian Chakra. This study contributes to the knowledge needed to promote agricultural practices that include an equal focus on FES, biodiversity conservation, and environmental resilience in a globally significant area, providing valuable information for designing sustainable agricultural policies and practices in the Amazonian Chakra.
