CALDERON CUARTAS, Paola Andrea  y  FLOREZ YEPES, Gloria Yaneth. ASSESSMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY INDICATORS ANALYSIS OF SIX AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION UNITS IN THE MIDDLE BASIN OF THE CHINCHINÁ RIVER. Luna Azul [online]. 2015, n.41, pp.73-88. ISSN 1909-2474.  https://doi.org/10.17151/luaz.2015.41.5.

Six agricultural production units applying cleaner production strategies were selected in the middle basin of the Chinchina river (Caldas, Colombia), in order to establish each unit sustainability level, adapting the sustainability indicators methodology proposed by ASPROINCA (Arango, 2003). The measured variables were: food security, markets, dependence on external supplies, labor, conservation of water, soil and forest, level of the system complexity, level of recycling, level of subsystems integration, family commitment, organizational forms of work and environmental values. The network type pictogram generated through the assessment and analysis exercise of such indicators allows the farmland owner to recognize the strengths and weaknesses of his production unit regarding economic, ecologic and socio-cultural issues, and to identify critical points for prioritization of sustainability activities. The obtained results show that each production unit has distinctive features about resources usage..The main aspects with mayor impact on sustainability of the studied farmlands were the high dependency of external supplies and the low competitiveness in the markets. The environmental values and the conservation of natural resources -water, soil and forest- are characteristic positive factors of the production units considered in this study.

Palabras clave : Ecological variables; economical variables; socio-cultural variables; cleaner production; sustainability.
