Every human action produces several positive or negative socio-environmental impacts, therefore, it is important to study the socio-environmental impacts resulting from anthropogenic activities, applying appropriate methods to identify, in a technical manner, those significant impacts and the level of affectation they cause on the environment and human societies. In this context, this research aimed to evaluate the socio-environmental impacts of agricultural activities in the Tunshi Experimental Station, an area of the Natural Resources Faculty (EET-FRN) of the Polytechnic School of Chimborazo. For this study, the socioenvironmental baseline of the study area was elaborated for applying a survey to 104 students of the Natural Renewable Resources career; semi-structured interviews were applie to four actors within the Experimental Station. The data for evaluating the identified impacts were gathered and analyzed using a modified Lazaro Lagos matrix. This study was carried out in the period March-August 2022. Once the impacts had been identified and evaluated, the environmental management plan was prepared to mitigate or offset the negative impacts and enhance the positive impacts. Through this study, 26 significant socio-environmental impacts
