A geospatial characterization, sustainability evaluation and modeling of small farmers farmshaving prevalent crops, located in the middle and low watershed of Superiver was carried outin this research. This was made in three steps. The first one was descriptive, the second onewas evaluative and the third one included typifying and modeling.The objectives were: to characterize and to analyze the territory, to determine theprevalent crops, to identify homogeneous zones, to evaluate the sustainability of farms,to typify farmers, to graphically model the farming systems and to propose technologicalalternatives to improve the performance of farms under study. The geospatialcharacterization of the middle and low watershed of Superiver allowed to identifyhomogeneous production zones. SIG and remote sensing were used as tools. Prevalentcrops identified in the area under study were: sugarcane, passion fruit, yellow corn,"paprika" sweet pepper, avocado and purple corn. Three homogeneous zones weredetermined. Socioeconomic and technical-productive attributes of farms havingprevalent crops were identified. After that, the sustainability of these farms wasevaluated by using the "multi criteria" method proposed by Sarandon and the "Fastagroecological method to evaluate the sustainability of coffee farmingsystems" methodproposed by Altieri and Nicholls, which uses soil quality and crop health criteria.The general index of sustainability (IS-G) is higher than 2.0, except for farms which grow"paprika sweet pepper whose general sustainability index is 1.98, therefore it is concludedthat of the farms evaluated, only those which grow "paprika" sweet pepper are notsustainable. Three types of producers were found according to their main activity and theannual economic income of the family: type I, are the small farmers with extensive perennialcrops and of restricted economy; type II, small farmers with complementary non-agriculturalactivity and self-subsidy economy; type III, medium farmers with intensive crops andcapitalization economy.
