| Abstract |
One of the alternatives proposed to promote activities that contribute to sustainable development refers to the possibility of reusing, renewing, or recycling products, prolonging their useful life and, thus, reducing the speed at which they are generated polluting waste. This process is known as the circular economy and is presented as a valid option when it comes to promoting social and agro-industrial development in Ecuador, in those regions that exhibit characteristics prone to promoting a socio-productive dynamic with this model. In this sense, the objective of this article is a critical analysis of the circular economy proposal in Latin America, with particular reference to the potential for applying this approach in the agroindustrial and social development of Ecuador. Methodologically, the text is the product of an exhaustive documentary review that focuses on aspects related to the elements of agro-industrial and social development involved in the process inherent to the circular economy, all according to some authors who have studied the topic and are referenced in search engines such as Google Academic and Dialnet. The results are shown in analytical matrices that contrast the theoretical elements with some realities of Ecuador to the extent that this can be a sample of the real possibilities of realizing alternative social and agroindustrial development models for the inhabitants of the subcontinent, especially those whom They have lived in the country since time immemorial. |
