Indicadores de sostenibilidad ambiental como herramientas para medir las externalidades del sector agroindustrial

Abstract

Environmental sustainability are tools that generate a favorable reaction as a result of the externalities of the agricultural sector, which in turn grows largely due to the demand of the overpopulation that demands greater agro-industrial consumption product due to the implementation of generating greater profitability and save time inside homes. This market failure is known as externalities, the same one that generates positive and negative impacts within the agricultural society, when speaking of positive externalities within the field of agribusiness, it can be noted that it is when the producer generates a more advanced knowledge in the fact of taking advantage of their capacities, while in the negative we observe that it is what harms the environment itself, generating radical changes due to poor waste management by agro-industries. The agro-industrial sector is of utmost importance in Ecuador, it generates employment and competitiveness among producers, making them increasingly improve their production quality, which generates a greater amount of profits within the agricultural system.
