For a productive system can be considered sustainable, it must be feasible to satisfy its current needs, without compromising the possibility of satisfying the needs of future generations. Nowadays, there are different types of tools that can be implemented in order to determine if a system is sustainable or not. Having this type of tools adjusted for a specific site and type of producer is very important in order to quickly classify the systems and determine which aspects need to be improved and / or modified to achieve the sustainability of the production system. In this work, the sustainability of a family farming nucleus (NAF) in the province of Santa Cruz (Argentina) was studied in order to test a set of indicators adapted to the productive reality of the NAF of this region. For this, a representative real case of the province was taken as a base and its general sustainability was analyzed through 20 indicators divided into three dimensions: ecological, economic and sociocultural. The study established that the general sustainability index of the nucleus must reach a minimum of 3 points, in addition to the obligation to achieve individual sustainability of the different dimensions to make the system sustainable. The NAF analyzed got a score of 2.97 points, very close to the minimum. However, both the economic and the ecological dimension did not achieve sustainability in the individual analysis, so the entire analyzed system was classified as unsustainable. This work presented a methodology that proved feasible to survey the sustainability of the NAF of the province of Santa Cruz, presenting a set of indicators that is adapted to the production conditions of the region. This typ of tools is important not only for producers, but also for public and private institutions which could direct their policies and / or actions in order to detect and strengthen those essential points to improve the sustainability of NAFs from Santa Cruz.
