This research was carried out in the Porce river basin, Antioquia (Colombia) with nine coffee growing families in charge of conventional systems and in transition to the organic production of coffee. The farms were characterized from an agroecological perspective, while evaluating the social, economic and technical-productive dimensions. It was detected that the two main threats faced by small farmers in this area are climatic variability and fluctuations in coffee prices. Using the RIH Risk Index methodology, a set of indicators was proposed to reflect the vulnerability and the response capacity of these families. RESUMENEn esta investigación se llevó a cabo en la cuenca del río Porce, Antioquia, Colombia con nueve familias de pequeños caficultores convencionales y en transición a la producción orgánica. Los caficultores fueron caracterizados desde la perspectiva agroecológica, evaluando las dimensiones sociales, económicas y técnico-productivas. Se detectó dos principales amenazas que enfrentan los pequeños caficultores de esta zona son la variabilidad climática y las fluctuaciones de los precios del café. Utilizando la metodología de Índice de Riesgo IHR, se propuso un conjunto de indicadores que reflejaran la vulnerabilidad y la capacidad de respuesta de estas familias.Palabras clave: agroecosistemas de café, indicadores, sostenibilidad, resiliencia socioecológica.
