Abstract

Despite its acceptance, sustainability has not been made operational, due, among other reasons, the difficulty of translating philosophical and ideological aspects in the ability to make decisions. This paper proposes a methodology consisting in a series of steps leading to obtain a set of indicators to assess the sustainability of agroecosystems. The use of simple and practical indicators is necessary to provide technicians, agricultures, and politicians, reliable and understandable information on the impacts and costs of technology adoption. The scope and limitations of this proposal are discussed.
