“…This vision is consistent with the principles stated in the framework for assessing Natural Resources management Systems incorporating Sustainable Indicators (mESmIS), which in turn support the approaches of various researchers, such as gutiérrez et al [17] and gonzález et al [18]. mESmIS exhibits the following attributes for a sustainable agroecological practice: (i) productivity, (ii) stability, (iii) resilience, (iv) social equity, and (v) autonomy and cultural adaptability.…”

“…[8] and gutiérrez et al [17] mention four key conditions to consider agro-ecosystems sustainable: (i) they meet productive goals without compromising the organization of the systems in which they are supported; (ii) they do not depend on inputs foreign to their immediate surroundings; (iii) they are resilient and adaptable; and (iv) they can maintain social organization over time through equitable relations.…”

Urban agriculture (Ua) is being constantly reviewed because of its significant contribution to urban and metropolitan sustainability (mS). Within the approaches associated with Ua, agroecology stands out as a practice that places value on collaborative social networks. Emerging from grassroots organizations that focus on ecological production and food sovereignty, agroecology strengthens short production-consumption chains, therefore increasing the resilience of metropolitan systems, which are under constant threat by natural hazards. The focus of this research is to develop and apply a methodology that identifies underlying agroecological practices, describing their location, state of development, and potential contribution to sustainability within metropolitan areas. a theoretical framework is developed to distinguish agroecological practices from commonly practiced Ua; subsequently a proposed methodology is developed to identify and assess these activities based on the following criteria: forms of production, sociopolitical organization, and mS. This methodological approach is used to analyze agroecological practices present in the metropolitan area of Concepción, Chile's second most important city, located over a territory with high presence of marshes, riverbeds, and wetlands. Conclusions identify as main strengths of agroecological practices their location on rururban interstices, together with their small scale of production; both aspects contribute to improving mS. Regarding weaknesses, the lack of appropriate planning policies and regulations threaten agroecological practices to disappear under the pressures exerted by contemporary urban development. finally, particular attention should be given to associative organizations, which have proven to enhance sustainable agroecological outcomes, by increasing employment generation, environmental preservation and local resilience.

“…Although vinasse is to use for fertirrigation of sugarcane fields, its organic content, chemical and biochemical oxygen demand indexes are high, posing a potential risk for soil and water pollution with groundwater, rivers, streams, lakes (Ortíz, et al, 2017) and aquifers being significant (Niño-Gutiérrez & Saldaña, 2012).…”

The objective was to highlight the historical documents that foresee the use and abuse of ethanol production (vinasse) in Brazil according to literature published in the period 1934-2020. The methodology used was documentary, the review and analysis of which brought with it the synthesis and perspectives of vinasse as well as its uses and abuses. Results: a) there are legal instruments in Brzil since 1934 whose goal is to care for the environment; b) about in 1978 was prohibited the direct dumping of stillage into bodies of water and c) in 2011 environmental guidelines were provided on this topic to achieve sustainability in the Brazilian space. Conclusions: 1) as can be seen in the cited literature, vinasse is one of the most impressive respurces for ethanol production; 2) Brazil is the second largest ethanol producer worldwide; 3) the use of stillage for cooling sugarcane fiekds, its organic content, chemical and biochemical oxygen demand rates are high and 4) the synergy between academics from universities, the government sector, civil society, companies in the productive chain of the sugar energy sector, among others, is important.
