In 2006, the Tungurahua volcano began its latest eruption processes, affecting some 30,000 people. This document systematizes thegood practices at the community level for risk management of natural and man-made disasters that affect the food security ofcommunities vulnerable to the Tungurahua. This systematization is an analytical reconstruction process, both from an institutional perspective, as well as a socila perspective on the capacities of members of a society or community, in this case farmers, to faceshocks and hazards, preventing and minimizing the damage, mitigating the effects of adverse events to ensure the provision of foodand agricultural production.

The use of renewable natural resources and watersheds in Ecuador can be characterized largely spontaneous or based on the needto use a particular resource, but not for a planned process, although this is changing now. In the Napo River Basin, which is the mostimportant means of transportation in the Ecuadorian Amazon, it is possible to identify concrete actions for land management with thepurpose optimizing planning and fostering development.
