Estrategias para mitigar el impacto ambiental generado por la porcicultura hacia la contribución del desarrollo sostenible sitio banasur cantón Pasaje

Abstract

One of the activities that affect the environment is the agricultural activity, from which significant quantities of pollutants are derived, mainly from the pig farming sector. For this reason, it has been proposed to describe the main tools used to prevent, control and/or mitigate the environmental pollution generated by pig farming and to analyze its applicability in the Banasur site, In order to achieve sustainable development, a checklist was used to identify the main environmental impacts produced by the pig breeding systems existing in the Banasur site, which were obtained as the main impacts: the generation of wastewater, soil and water pollution, spread of pests, foul odors, emission of greenhouse gases and generation of ordinary and hospital waste, after which we proceeded to investigate the main existing tools to prevent, control and / or mitigate environmental pollution generated by pig farms, based on the information existing in different researches published in indexed scientific journals, once revised it was established which would be more feasible to implement in the study site, coming to the conclusion that the most feasible to implement are the deep bed breeding systems, wastewater treatment systems and biodigesters, from the latter could be obtained up to 216 KW daily and 78.824 KW per year, enough energy to light a 100 W (0.10 Kw) bulb for 216 hours.
