This paper analyzes ICZM in continental Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands from the perspective of the 3S tourism, and presents its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT). The methodology used was based on a literature review of ten aspects of the highest relevance to ICZM, i.e., Policies, Regulations, Responsibilities, Institutions, Strategies and Instruments, Training, Economic Resources, Information, Education for Sustainability, and Citizen Participation. -
Urea Subsidies and the Decision to Allocate Land to a New Fertilizing Technology: Ex-Ante Analysis in Ecuador
Urea Subsidies and the Decision to Allocate Land to a New Fertilizing Technology: Ex-ante Analysis in Ecuador Jorge J. Avila-Santamaria1 and Maria del Pilar Useche2 Food and Resource Economics Department University of Florida Gainesville, FL, 32611 1 [email protected] 2 [email protected] Selected Paper prepared for presentation at the Southern Agricultural Economics Association’s 2016 Annual Meeting, San Antonio, Texas, February, 6‐9 2016 Copyright 2016 by Avila and Useche.

Urea Subsidies and the Decision to Allocate Land to a New Fertilizing Technology: Ex-ante Analysis in Ecuador Jorge Avila-Santamaria and Pilar Useche Abstract This ex-ante study examines how urea subsidies affect the adoption of a more efficient but labor- intensive existing alternative, Urea Deep Placement (UDP), in some of the major growing regions of Ecuador (Daule and Santa Lucia cantons, Guayas province). A government subsidy covers around 30% of urea fertilizer cost since 2007. Such a public intervention may be favoring to the traditional broadcasting fertilization method, which demands urea more intensively, crowding out improved innovations (i.e. UDP) and becoming an adverse selection mechanism. JEL classification: Q12, Q16, Q18 Key Words: Urea Deep Placement, Broadcasting Fertilization, Urea Subsidy, Technology Adoption, Land Allocation. 1 1. Introduction During the last years, rice production has represented not only a share of 8% to 12% of the agricultural GDP but also it signifies a substantial portion of the daily diet in Ecuador, whose current per-capita consumption is 46.67 kg/year. -

Ecuador's Awá Win Nullification of Land Measure
Ecuador's Awá Win Nullification of Land Measure JULY 2007 Ecuador's Awá win nullification of land measure Quito, Ecuador Traveling some stretches on foot and others by bus, more than 500 members of Ecuador's Awá indigenous community trekked this month from their villages near the country's northern border with Colombia to this high-altitude capital, spears symbolically in hand. Their objective was to protest a recent government land-management measure that the Awá claim would give timber and oil-palm plantation operators access to a portion of their territory in coastal Esmeraldas province, jeopardizing their internationally recognized efforts to practice sustainable forestry there. On July 11-two days after the Awá arrived in Quito-Environment Minister Ana Albán produced what they wanted: nullification of the land-management measure. The government also pledged to review the status of a 14,800-acre (6,000-ha) area of land in Carchi province that was removed from the Awá territory last year. Precipitating this month's protest was a January Environment Ministry order that the Awá and the local Afro-Ecuadorian community must jointly manage 43,226 acres (17,493 has) in Ricaurte- Tululbí parish, which is part of Esmeraldas province's canton of San Lorenzo. Albán signed the order after Afro-Ecuadorians, whose roots reach back to the Spanish colonial era, argued they have valid historical claims to the area. The Awá complained the move nixed government decisions making the Ricaurte-Tululbí land part of the tribe's officially recognized 245,467-acre (99,337-ha) territory, which stretches from mountainous Imbabura and Carchi provinces to the Pacific Coast province of Esmeraldas. -
