Currently, the expansion of the agricultural frontier has become one of the most relevant environmental problems in the country; the same that has been growing year after year bringing with it several consequences, Santiago de Quito is one of the parishes of the Colta canton, which is dedicated entirely to agricultural activities so it is undeniable to find an exponential growth of the agricultural frontier considering that agriculture is the means of subsistence that the villagers make to achieve a quality life, each of the products they grow are part of their daily work. This research had a mixed approach, in the quantitative approach information was obtained from the surveys applied to the inhabitants of the different communities, while the qualitative approach was obtained through an interview applied to community leaders. The research design was descriptive because it allowed us to know about the study area and its elements. The results obtained were evidenced in different ways; through the generation of maps in the Qgis software from 1990 to 2018 that show the changes that the parish of Santiago de Quito has had in different periods of time, also the data obtained showed that despite the consequences of the increase in agricultural expansion, the inhabitants will continue to perform these activities as they are part of their daily lives.
