Caracterización del Sistema Agroalimentario de la Provincia de Galápagos mediante el Análisis Integrado Multi-escala del Metabolismo de la Sociedad y el Ecosistema (MuSIASEM).

Abstract

This research focuses on a diagnosis of the agri-food system for the province of Galapagos period 2012 based on Multi-Scale Integrated Analysis of Societal and Ecosystem Metabolism (MuSIASEM). Through the characterization of the External View, represented by the identification of the use of natural resources and production inputs such as water-energy- human activity and representation of the Internal View, which identifies the consumption and use of food by households and economic activities such as industry, this approach exposes the overall functioning of the agri-food system. Complementing, this research presents a scenario of representation the Agri-Food System for the province of Galapagos period 2020 based on local population projections and under the assumptions of permanence in the values of consumption patterns, production, used production inputs and tourist population.
