The objective of this research was to evaluate the sustainability of the family farming production systems of the Penipe canton, Chimborazo province, Ecuador. From a population of 1055 families dedicated to this production system, a sample (n = 68) was taken, covering a study area of 200 hectares, to carry out the characterization and typification process using Ward's methodology, with a squared Euclidean distance equal to 90. Three typologies were identified: specialized family farming (AFE), (28%), diversified family farming (AFD), (50%), and subsistence family farming (AFS), (22%). Applying the MESMIS methodology, the sustainability of each one of the systems was evaluated, determining the attributes, critical points and the construction of indicators, validated by specialists, producers and local authorities. From the results obtained, it is concluded that, on a scale of 0 to 2, the AFE reaches sustainability levels with a valuation of (1.56), the AFD has a value considered as moderately sustainable (1.32) and the AFS has a rating that qualifies it as an unsustainable system (0.77). Proposals and alternatives were included, contrasting with the productive thresholds, to improve the sustainability of family farming in the Penipe canton, Chimborazo province. The proposals and alternatives include aspects of land tenure, its occupation, government management and execution, participation, social linkage, access to credit, income level, innovation´s training , dependence on external resources, crop risks, slope, erosion , drainage, irrigation water, organic matter content, root development, soil cover, plant and animal biodiversity, crop management, yield to improve each of the production systems in order to be able to achieve sustainable values for the agro-productive development of the Penipe canton .
