Cambio climático y contaminación ambiental como generadores de crisis alimentaria en la américa andina: Un análisis empírico para Ecuador

Abstract:

From the perspective of food sovereignty, this investigation has as main objective to investigate the relationship between population growth and agriculture lands of Ecuador (1970 - 2013). These elements combined with climate change and environmental pollution show that we are moving into a food crisis. This investigation has been done using MCO, VAR and GRANGER's econometric model. Data sources are World Bank (2015) and Instituto Nacional de Meteorología e Hidrología (INAMHI). The results demonstrate an inverse and long term relation between arable lands and total population. Furthermore, there is a significant effect of CO2 emissions, temperature and precipitation on agricultural lands availability.
