Approximately 500 years have passed since the conquest of the Inca Tupac Yupanqui over the 'Palta Culture' settled in present-day Loja, Ecuador, an event that originated the most common name for avocado in South America and its diffusion in the Inca Empire (Velásquez, A., 2025).
500 años aproximadamente han pasado desde la conquista del Inca Tupac Yupanqui sobre la 'Cultura Palta' asentada en el actual Loja, Ecuador, evento que originó el nombre más usual para el aguacate en Sudamérica y su difusión en el Imperio Incaico (Velásquez, A., 2025).

The study examines how droughts, floods, and temperature shifts impact agriculture in Peru and Ecuador. It reviews adaptation strategies such as climate-resilient crops, irrigation innovations, and government support. Findings show improved resilience, but highlight the need for more sustainable practices and stronger climate policies (Fernandez & Morales, 2025).

The article analyzes the biotechnological potential of the red macroalgae Kappaphycus alvarezii, Acanthophora spicifera, and Hypnea spinella as an ecological alternative for sustainable agriculture in Ecuador. It highlights their bioactive compounds—polysaccharides, amino acids, polyphenols, and phytohormones—which can replace synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. It also highlights that their cultivation does not compete with land or require fresh water, offering a viable option for reducing agrochemicals, improving plant productivity, and strengthening the coastal economy through the use of sustainable marine resources.
