Estudios de la ecopedagogía en el manejo de residuos orgánicos acuícolas en la Laguna de la Cocha.

Abstract

Ecopedagogy emerges as a promising strategy to raise
awareness among producers and promote sustainable
practices, while aquaculture is consolidating as an
important economic activity in Cocha Lagoon or Lake
Guamuez (Nariño). However, negative environmental
impacts have arisen due to the inadequate management
of organic aquaculture waste. To develop this

community environmental education, experiential
learning, participatory research, and the training of
environmental leaders are explored. Although specific
literature is limited, the analyzed cases highlight the
importance of involving communities and adopting
public policies that complement ecopedagogy to
achieve profound cultural change and comprehensive
waste management. It is concluded that further
research is needed to critically analyze the application of
these approaches and their integration with innovative
technologies to ensure the sustainability of aquaculture
in Cocha Lagoon.
article, a literature review was conducted in major
academic databases such as Scopus, Web of Science,
ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar, where principles
of ecopedagogy are presented, based on the harmony
between humans and nature, ecological awareness,
and the dialogue of knowledge. Additionally, concepts
of a theoretical-practical methodology grounded in
