Abstract
El Ecuador es un Estado constitucional de derecho, en el cual todas las personas y colectividades tienen derecho al acceso seguro y permanente a alimentos sanos y nutritivos. Este mandato de la Constitución de la República es desarrollado por la Ley Orgánica de Soberanía Alimentaria, que establece los principios fundamentales para garantizar la seguridad alimentaria y regular la distribución de alimentos excedentes, promoviendo su aprovechamiento eficiente y la reducción de desperdicios. En este contexto, se inserta la función del Banco de Alimentos de la Ciudad de Ibarra, institución en la cual se realizó este trabajo, cuyo objetivo fue diseñar un sistema web que optimiza la gestión de donación, clasificación y distribución de alimentos de la referida organización. De esta manera, dichos procesos dejarían de realizarse de forma manual y mejoraría la trazabilidad de los alimentos y la correspondiente operatividad institucional, porque el sistema propuesto permite registrar donaciones en tiempo real, clasificar los alimentos según su estado y asignarlos a beneficiarios de manera automatizada. De igual forma, incorpora herramientas para la generación de reportes que facilitan la toma de decisiones dentro de la organización. Dicho sistema se construyó utilizando la metodología Scrum, la cual permite un desarrollo ágil y adaptativo. En todo caso, la arquitectura de este software se orienta por un modelo cliente-servidor, lo cual garantiza una separación clara entre el frontend y el backend, con una base de datos relacional para asegurar la integridad de la información. En cuanto a los resultados alcanzados, se evidenció que la aplicación del sistema mejora, significativamente, la eficiencia en el registro de los procesos fundamentales de la organización. Finalmente, este trabajo evidenció la importancia de la digitalización en la gestión de recursos alimentarios, permitiendo una administración eficiente y equitativa de las donaciones, con un impacto positivo en las comunidades beneficiaria.
Ecuador is a constitutional state of law in which all individuals and communities have the right to safe and permanent access to healthy and nutritious food. This mandate of the Constitution of the Republic is further developed by the Organic Law of Food Sovereignty, which establishes the fundamental principles to guarantee food security and regulate the distribution of surplus food, promoting its efficient utilization and the reduction of waste. Within this framework, the Banco de Alimentos de Ibarra plays a crucial role, serving as the institution where this research was conducted. The objective of this study was to design a web-based system to optimize the management of food donation, classification, and distribution for this organization. By implementing this system, these processes would no longer be conducted manually, improving food traceability and institutional efficiency. The proposed system enables real-time donation registration, automated food classification, and streamlined allocation to beneficiaries. Additionally, it incorporates tools for generating reports, facilitating data-driven decision-making within the organization. The system was developed using the Scrum methodology, allowing for an agile and adaptive development process. Furthermore, the client-server architecture ensures a clear separation between the frontend and backend, with a relational database guaranteeing data integrity. Regarding the results achieved, the implementation of the system significantly improved efficiency in the registration of the organization’s core processes. Finally, this research highlights the importance of digitalization in food resource management, enabling efficient and equitable administration of donations, with a positive impact on beneficiary communities.
