OROPESA-CASANOVA, Katerine; WENCOMO-CARDENAS, Hilda Beatriz; MIRANDA-TORTOLO, Taymer  e  LEZCANO-FLEIRES, Juan Carlos. Sustainability in peasant farms of the Perico municipality, Matanzas, Cuba. Pastos y Forrajes [online]. 2022, vol.45  Epub 19-Set-2022. ISSN 2078-8452.

Objective:

To propose a system of multidimensional indicators that allows to evaluate the sustainability of productive systems within the framework of municipal development programs.

Materials and Methods:

Indicators were adapted from multi-criteria methods and tools for the analysis of sustainability, which were standardized and weighed. The methodological proposal was validated in five farms in the Perico municipality, in Matanzas province.

Results:

The most influential indicators per dimension were: food self-sufficiency in the economic dimension, satisfaction of basic needs, housing and degree of acceptability of the productive system in the sociocultural dimension. Regarding the ecological dimension, the indicators linked to the study of crop systems, the analysis of water supply sources for agricultural use and its drainage, as well as those associated with the design of the system, stood out. The farms were biodiverse, although according to the degree of complexity of the design and management, they were moderately complex. The general sustainability index showed that only the Palo Lindo farm did not meet the sustainability criteria.

Conclusions:

The methodology for evaluating sustainability in its multiple dimensions is an important tool at the local level. The validation of this methodological proposal allows to find trends in the field of sustainability, establish their causes and propose medium-term solutions.
