La responsabilidad social de las empresas bananeras y su impacto en el medio ambiente

Abstract

La producción de banano en el Ecuador es una actividad económica de gran importancia para el país, siendo uno de los principales productos de exportación. Sin embargo, la producción convencional de banano ha generado controversias debido al impacto ambiental que genera. En esta investigación, se analiza cómo las empresas bananeras pueden tener un impacto positivo en el medio ambiente a través de una gestión ambiental eficaz tanto en la producción convencional como orgánica de banano. Se presentan las principales prácticas sostenibles que pueden ser implementadas en la producción de banano convencional y orgánico, incluyendo la gestión integrada de plagas, el uso eficiente del agua y energía, la reforestación y conservación de áreas naturales, entre otros. También se discuten los desafíos que enfrentan las empresas bananeras en la implementación de prácticas sostenibles y cómo estos pueden ser superados. Palabras clave: Responsabilidad social, medio ambiente, empresas bananeras, sostenibilidad. ABSTRACT Banana production in Ecuador is an economic activity of great importance for the country, being one of the main export products. However, conventional banana production has generated controversy due to its environmental impact. This research analyzes how banana companies can have a positive impact on the environment through effective environmental management in both conventional and organic banana production. The main sustainable practices that can be implemented in conventional and organic banana production are presented, including integrated pest management, efficient use of water and energy, reforestation and conservation of natural areas, among others. It also discusses the challenges faced by banana companies in implementing sustainable practices and how these can be overcome. Keywords: Social responsibility, environment, banana companies, sustainability.
