The objective was to characterize and evaluate the sustainability of the agricultural units in the first stage of the Majes-Siguas Project in Arequipa, Peru. The population consisted of 2 673 producers, from which a sample was taken (n=335) distributed in the 5 sections of the project (A, B, C, D, E). A structured survey was used that collected information on the three dimensions of sustainability, then sub-indicators were selected and formulas were designed to calculate the indicators of economic, social, environmental sustainability and the general sustainability index. It was found that the characteristics of the producers differ from one section to another, although most of them are over 40 years old. The level of instruction is mostly primary and secondary, and the houses have some basic services, mostly just electricity. Most of them are owners and plan to leave the property as an inheritance to their children, they are not organized and have a moderate knowledge and ecological awareness. The main characteristics of the agricultural units also differ from one section to another, most cultivate 100 percent of the area, do agriculture + livestock and crop rotation. They use a mixture of 60 percent fertilizers + 40 percent fertilizers and pest control is mostly chemical and there is a 40 percent dependence on external inputs. All use technified irrigation, most 50 percent drip + 50 percent sprinkler who do not have access to agricultural credit and those who do, are mainly from private banks. Most have a single marketing channel and the profitability of crops is mostly between 11 to 20 percent and breeding between 1 to 10 percent. To assess sustainability, the “SAFE Framework“ and the adapted formula of the “multi-Criteria Analysis“ were used. Most of the agricultural units are socially, environmentally and economically sustainable. In general, most were sustainable, especially in section C.
