| description | Agroecological transition processes are the strategies that will ensure a sustainable future for human food and diverse life on Earth. This research presents results of using the FINCAS application, a digital tool to assess the sustainability of agroecosystems in situ. The software was used to evaluate the productive system of pineapple (Ananas comosus L.) in Aguazul (Colombia), under the snowball sampling method. A total of 32 farms were obtained, of which 46.9 % are in high sustainability categories; 40.6 % in transition towards sustainability and 12.5 % in low sustainability categories. The results show that farms with low sustainability need to integrate production systems, increase the supply of food produced on the farm, and use the agro-industrial success stories in the pineapple production chain, to introduce ways of using all available resources that reduce dependence on external inputs. |

Los procesos de transición agroecológica son las estrategias que permitirán garantizar un futuro sustentable para la alimentación humana y las distintas formas de vida sobre la tierra. Esta investigación presenta los resultados del uso del aplicativo FINCAS, una herramienta digital que permite evaluar in situ la sustentabilidad de los agroecosistemas. El software fue utilizado para evaluar el sistema productivo de piña (Ananas comosus L.) en Aguazul (Colombia), con el método de muestreo de bola de nieve. Se estudiaron 32 fincas en total, de las cuales el 46,9 % se encuentra en categorías de sustentabilidad alta; un 40,6 % en transición hacia la sustentabilidad y un 12,5 % en categorías de sustentabilidad baja. Los resultados muestran que las fincas con sustentabilidad baja requieren integrar los sistemas productivos, aumentar la oferta de alimentos producidos en la finca y utilizar los casos de éxito agroindustrial en la cadena productiva de la piña, para introducir formas de aprovechamiento de todos los recursos disponibles que permitan disminuir la dependencia de insumos externos.
