description The objective of the work was to analyze the sustainability of the coffee producing farms in the province of Guanentá, Santander. The framework methodology was used for the evaluation of the natural resource management system by means of sustainability indicators (MESMIS), and it was evaluated –in addition to the three conventionally accepted elements for sustainability: social, economic, environment– the institutional component, in concordance with new trends in rural development. The results indicate that the dissimilar behavior of sustainability in the six producing farms of the three evaluated municipalities transcends the environment dimension to focus on social, economic and institutional indicators, which with a greater variability given by a higher typical deviation explain the difference among coffee farms.  Based on the results, it is concluded that the farms have a high performance in the environmental dimension related to the coffee culture of special coffees certification as opposed to a high variability in the social indicators. In this regard, the social dimension has the least sustainability and the greatest variability with respect to the other dimensions of sustainability. The multidimensional analysis of sustainability allows us to know the gaps of the coffee producting farms to move towards sustainability and omits the fragmentation contained in the study of a particular dimension.

El objetivo del trabajo fue analizar la sustentabilidad de las unidades productivas cafeteras de la provincia de Guanentá, Santander. Se utilizó la metodología del marco para la evaluación de sistema de manejo de recursos naturales mediante indicadores de sustentabilidad (Mesmis) en donde se evaluó –además de los tres elementos convencionalmente aceptados para la sustentabilidad: social, económico, ambiental– el componente institucional, en concordancia con las nuevas tendencias del desarrollo rural. Los resultados indican que el disímil comportamiento de la sustentabilidad en las seis unidades productivas de los tres municipios evaluados trasciende la dimensión ambiental para concentrarse en indicadores sociales, económicos e institucionales, los cuales, con una mayor variabilidad dada por una mayor desviación típica, explican la diferencia entre las fincas cafeteras. Basado en los resultados se concluye que las unidades poseen un alto desempeño en la dimensión ambiental relacionado con la cultura cafetera de la certificación de cafés especiales en contraposición a una alta variabilidad en los indicadores sociales. Al respecto, la dimensión social posee la menor sustentabilidad y mayor variabilidad con respecto a las otras dimensiones de la sustentabilidad. El análisis multidimensional de la sustentabilidad permite conocer las brechas de las unidades productivas cafeteras para transitar hacia la sustentabilidad y omite la fragmentación contenida en el estudio de una dimensión en particular.
