Abstract

At Fatima Parish, Puyo, Pastaza; the social, economic, and productive impact of families that have chosen the project “Integral Farms” project implemented by the parish decentralized and autonomous government was evaluated. Breeding ground, technical advice, and food supply were provided. The beneficiary families have to give back the number of animals or their equivalent amount of money. Some surveys were applied in order to identify and characterize the components to be studied that were statically analyzed with dispersion and central tendency measures for 75 beneficiary families. Four members are the average size of the families; 52% are male; 85.3% are considered mestizo, 13.4% are indigenous; 65.4% are farmers, and 56% of families receive incomes that are under the minimum wage. During the implementation of the project it was seen a coverage of 16.60%, a profitability of 17.51 dollars a month, a cost-benefit ratio of 1.39, 59% regarding to the project sustainability and commitment accomplishment the families that choose the farm chicken production reflect a 61%. The coverage reached by the families that choose the pig production was 15.32% and they do not cover the production costs. It was concluded that the project did not have a favorable impact in the economy of the families. It is recommended to study the offer and demand of the farm animals that will be produced in order to avoid decreasing the profitability of the producer over the production in the market.
