With the objective of updating the criteria on agrarian sustainability of it is proposed the adaptation of a method from 3 labor frameworks for measuring agricultural systems sustainability. It was established a systematic review of the scientific information, with an assessment instrument (surveys) or type of sample (soil, water or biomass) to be taken from agricultural systems. The criteria are structured at the farm level, where the soil resource, water management, diversity of production, education and training are considered to be of higher incidence in the sustainability, producing indicators approved by a panel of experts whose contribution is validated with the coefficient alpha of Cronbach. Weight assignment to the indicators is contributed according to the scientific literature, it continues with the linear normalization of 0 to 1; In addition an analysis of main components is proposed to reduce indicators and to perform radial graphs for its examination by domains and criteria with the purpose of improving its qualification in the future.

Palabras clave : Indicators; sustainability; agrarian systems.
