This study investigates the dimensions of sustainability and their influence on financial economic sustainability (FES) in traditional agroforestry systems (TAFS) using the case of the Amazonian Chakra. The main objectives were to analyze the sustainability dimensions and establish the causal relationships between these dimensions and the FES. To carry out this research, 330 households in Napo Province that use the Amazonian Chakra system to grow cocoa were selected to analyze the relationship between the different dimensions of sustainability and FES in this unique context. The study results show that practices related to food security (FS) and business factors (BF) positively and significantly impact the FES of cocoa producing households in the Amazonian Chakra system. These findings support the importance of ensuring the availability and quality of food and promoting responsible business practices in these environments. In contrast, the dimensions of environmental resilience (ER) and biodiversity conservation (BC) negatively impacted FES, highlighting an economic financial imbalance in relation to conservation and environmental resilience actions in the Amazonian Chakra. This study contributes to the knowledge needed to promote agricultural practices that include an equal focus on FES, biodiversity conservation, and environmental resilience in a globally significant area, providing valuable information for designing sustainable agricultural policies and practices in the Amazonian Chakra.
