En este artículo se analiza el vínculo entre agrobiodiversidad y formación del capital humano en el desarrollo de comunidades rurales de la Amazonía ecuatoriana. Se cuantifican recursos del bosque y agropecuarios, satisfacción de necesidades alimentarias e impacto de instituciones académicas en comunidades del valle del río Anzu. El mejoramiento de cultivos asociados y el bio-conocimiento son las bases para establecer estrategias que favorezcan el cambio de la matriz productiva en los planes de desarrollo.----In this article, is analyzed the link between agricultural biodiversity and human capital formation in rural communities development in the Ecuadorian Amazon. Forest and agricultural resources, alimentary needs and academic institutions impact in Anzu River Valley communities are quantified. Improving cropping and bio-knowledge are the basis for strategies that change the productive matrix in development plans.

With the Geographic Information Systems methods (GIS), the occupation of the environmental system is diagnosed using communities' geo-positioning, spatial relationships analysis and cartographic representation. This is the sustainable local development basis in six rural communities in the ancestral territory of the original Kichwa Amazonian Ecuadorian nation, from Tzawata, at Northeast; until Veinticuatro de Mayo at Southwest, located in the low, middle and high levels of the Anzu River valley. The fieldwork includes interviews, surveys, discussion events, as well as the communities' 64 surveyed households georeferencing, and maps with official entities public data, available in the National Information System, the geo Ecuadorian state portal of open access to national reference cartography and the National Institute of Statistics and Census. The information collected allows the structural keys based establishment on the strengths and weaknesses that are faced, and short-term keys based on perceived opportunities and threats, which are summarized for the whole study area as an internal and external analysis. It is considered that the structural generalization and short-term keys from the strategic diagnosis does not mean that the impacts and responses are common to all the communities, which is evident in the differences reported in the surveys variables analyzed.
