Resumen


Este artículo analiza un innovador sistema de información automatizado diseñado para optimizar el uso del agua para el cultivo de cacao en la ciudad de Naranjal, Ecuador. Al abordar los desafíos del cambio climático y la sostenibilidad agrícola, el estudio evalúa el rendimiento del sistema utilizando un conjunto de datos simulados y el modelo Maxent, destacando su impresionante precisión predictiva del 92%. La investigación subraya los importantes beneficios socioeconómicos del sistema, evidenciados por una encuesta entre agricultores locales, el 85% de los cuales encontró que el sistema era fácil de usar y eficaz para mejorar sus prácticas de riego. Un sustancial 75% anticipó un aumento en la producción de cacao debido a una mejor gestión del agua. El estudio también explora el impacto ambiental del sistema, demostrando una reducción del 30% en la erosión del suelo y una notable disminución en la huella de carbono del cultivo de cacao, lo que subraya el potencial para reducir el desperdicio de agua y el uso de energía en la agricultura. Los hallazgos iluminan las implicaciones más amplias del empleo de tecnología avanzada en la agricultura, sugiriendo un camino hacia prácticas agrícolas más sostenibles y eficientes que pueden replicarse en contextos agrícolas similares a nivel mundial.
