| dc.description | The Brazilian Agricultural Research Agency (Embrapa) has proposed a “System for Environmental Impact Assessment of Agricultural Technology Innovations” (Ambitec-Agro) for the appraisal of research projects and technology innovations in the institutional context of R&D. A derived system, directed at eco-certification of rural activities (Eco-cert.Rural), has been proposed in order to extend the environmental assessment practice to rural activities. The Ambitec-Agro System comprises a set of weighing matrices organized for the integrated assessment of socio-environmental indicators, including modules focused on the environmental impact assessment of Agricultural, Livestock production, and Agro-industrial activities and a specific module for Social Impact Assessment. The calculated impact indices facilitate socio-environmentally sound decision making and allow the delineation of ad hoc recommendations for performance improvements, as well as selection of best cases for benchmarking purposes. The paper presents the Ambitec-Agro System and its applications as a project appraisal and technology management methodology. | en-US |
| dc.description | La Agencia Brasilera de Investigación Agrícola (Embrapa) ha propuesto un “Sistema para el Manejo del Impacto Ambiental de las Innovaciones Tecnológicas en la Agricultura” (Ambitec-Agro) para la valoración de los proyectos de investigación y las innovaciones tecnológicas en el contexto institucional de I+D. Un sistema derivado directamente de la eco-certificación de las actividades rurales (Eco-cert Rural), el cual ha sido propuesto con el objetivo de extender la práctica de la gestión ambiental en las actividades rurales. El sistema Ambitec-Agro se consiste en una serie de matrices de medición organizadas para el manejo integrado de indicadores socio-ambientales, incluyendo módulos enfocados en el manejo del impacto ambiental de la producción agrícola, ganadera y las actividades agro-industriales, con un módulo específico para el Manejo del Impacto Social. El índice de impacto calculado facilita la toma de decisiones socio económica y permite la delineación de recomendaciones ad hoc para el desempeño de mejoras, como también mejora los propósitos del benchmarking. Este trabajo presenta el sistema Ambitec-Agro y sus aplicaciones de metodología en la gestión a la valoración de un proyecto tecnológico. | es-ES |
