A study was carried out in Canta, Lima (Peru), in order to characterize brócoli cropping systems to determine their sustainability. Economic, ecological and social indicators were prepared, according to the systems under study. Data analysis showed some critical points related to farm sustainability. The most critical component was the environmental one, according to the soil life conservation indicator, because the do not use plant cover and incorporate little organic matter. According to the scale used pollution risk indicator was low as a result of the application of pesticides of high toxicity and poor handling of empty containers. The economic dimension was more sustainable despite of the high dependence on external inputs. In the social aspect, predominant sustainable indicators were housing quality, access to health and basic services. Sustainability indicators confirm than broccoli farms are not sustainable. Indicators are adequate to detect critical sustainability aspects and to understand their causes to propose long term solutions.
