| description | Organic agriculture is considered an activity that favors the environment and the well-being of ecosystems and society, as well as the economy. The aim of this research is to identify and analyze some contributions that organic agriculture has generated on sustainability. To do this, the fruit sector in Michoacán was considered a case study, which is the largest contribution to organic agriculture at the national level. The method used was the revision, description, and analysis of statistical data in national databases specializing in organic agriculture, as well as the application of semi-structured interviews to organic producers in the state. According to the results obtained, it can be noted that even though organic agriculture represents a small percentage of conventional agriculture, it is an activity that is experiencing a growing trend and potential demand. Evidence shows that such activities benefit the three dimensions of sustainability, in economic, environmental and social terms, and it can be concluded that such activities contribute favorably to sustainability. |

La agricultura orgánica está considerada una actividad que favorece al medio ambiente y al bienestar de los ecosistemas y la sociedad, así como también a la economía. La presente investigación tiene como objetivo identificar y analizar algunos aportes que la agricultura orgánica ha generado sobre la sostenibilidad. Para ello, se tomó como caso de estudio el sector frutícola en el estado de Michoacán, el cual es el que aporta en mayor medida a la agricultura orgánica a nivel nacional. El método que se utilizó consistió en la revisión, descripción y el análisis de datos estadísticos en bases de datos nacionales especializados en agricultura orgánica, así como en la aplicación de entrevistas semiestructuradas a productores orgánicos del estado. De acuerdo con los resultados obtenidos, se puede señalar que, si bien la agricultura orgánica representa aún un pequeño porcentaje en relación con la agricultura convencional, es una actividad que hoy en día muestra una tendencia creciente en su producción, comercialización y demanda. Según las evidencias, este tipo de actividades favorecen las tres dimensiones de la sustentabilidad, en términos económicos, ambientales y sociales, por lo que se puede concluir que estas actividades contribuyen favorablemente a la sostenibilidad.
