<p><strong>Background:</strong> the agricultural production system, its operation, monitoring and execution, requires formulating new evaluation schemes. Integrating the vast majority of social, cultural, ecological, economic, geopolitical characteristics and factors related to the technology applied in production systems. Through the use of associated indicators in each of its dimensions and attributes, to analyze its sustainability. The <strong>objective:</strong> This research is the evaluation of the sustainability of the production systems of family farming in the Penipe canton. That demands the selection, transformation and aggregation of economic, environmental, geopolitical, cultural and social indicators, which allow determining trends of the system, using a systemic, participatory, interdisciplinary and flexible approach called the MESMIS framework. <strong>Methodology:</strong> MESMIS was applied to nine representative farms of diversified, specialized and subsistence family farming production system. By determining the critical points, the indicators were applied once standardized and weighted. <strong>Results:</strong> Specialized family farming production system is sustainable with a score of (1.56), diversified family farming is moderately sustainable with a score of (1.32) and subsistence family farming, with a value of (0.77) is considered an unsustainable system within the locality. <strong>Implications:</strong> It was found that there are some aspects that limit the farms to be considered as sustainable systems, identifying the attributes to improve.<strong> </strong>In order to improve subsistence family farming, it is necessary to work on the following parameters:<strong> </strong>productivity, stability, resilience, reliability, adaptability, equity and self-management; diversified family farming expresses the following attributes to improve: productivity, stability, resilience, reliability, equity and self-management and specialized family farming has to improve in: Productivity, resilience, stability, equity. <strong>Conclusions:</strong> This evaluation responds to a cyclical process that, by effectively integrating the evaluation in the decision-making process, improves the probability of success in the design of alternatives to improve the productive systems in the Penipe canton.</p>
<p>La investigación analizó el grado de efectividad de las acciones emprendidas por la Corporación de Productores y Comercializadores Orgánicos “Bio Taita Chimborazo”, en función de sus logros e impactos en el campo socioeconómico de sus asociados, mediante la comparación con personas no asociadas del mismo sector y con la misma actividad. La población de estudio estuvo conformada por 1286 productores; de los cuales se obtuvo una muestra de 296 productores. Metodológicamente, el principal instrumento que se manejó en la muestra determinada fue una encuesta realizada a productores asociados a COPROBICH y productores no asociados, comprobando la hipótesis planteada a través del Chi cuadrado. Concretamente, los ingresos provenientes del proyecto quinua son mejores en los asociados en un 28,07% respecto a los no asociados, el acceso a créditos en un 26,51%, la percepción de mejora en ingreso es un 19,7% más alta en los asociados, el nivel de seguridad social es 32,65% mayor que los no asociados, las mejoras en habitabilidad varían entre un 2,89%, y la organicidad de la producción se elevó en un 50,42%. También se realizó una entrevista guiada y documentada a través de los informes de gestión en los cuales se establece un nivel de cumplimiento de validez del 95,80%, basado en el índice de Pearson, determinándose que el nivel promedio de impacto es apenas del 13,61%, mientras que la eficiencia alcanza el 83,33% y la efectividad un 88,66%. La pertinencia y la sostenibilidad se ubican al 100% debido a la naturaleza del proyecto. Los resultados obtenidos de la investigación apuntan a un desarrollo socioeconómico discreto que, si bien existe, podría ser optimizado en función de sus asociados; las diferencias contrastadas entre asociados y no asociados se presentan en el plano económico, de vivienda y de productividad: los otros aspectos son comunes y no presentan diferencias significativas<strong>.</strong></p>
