Resumo
This research sought to understand sustainability in the process of certified organic
production, by the means of the study of a property with such certification, instituted by
Law 10.831 and audited by IBD. Using a multi-method analysis, which integrated SWOT
strategic planning methodology and Marco de Evaluación de Sistemas de Manejo
Incorporando Indicadores de Sustentabilidad – MESMIS (Indicator-based Framework for
Evaluation of Natural Resource Management. Systems), indicators were elaborated for
the main organizational sectors of a well-established company in organic production:
Marketing; Operations; Management Information System; Property Administration;
Finance; and Human Resources. 31 indicators were worked out: 13 for the environmental
dimension, 9 for the economic dimension, and 9 for the social dimension. They were
measured by a semi-structured interview and questionnaires dealing with the following
attributes: productivity, stability, resilience, and equity. The evaluation of the results
served to identify the critical points and discuss them with the participants of the
productive processes in the company. The MESMIS was essential to identify the
indicators and allowed, besides measuring them, the possibility to describe them in a
qualitative way. The method provides a participatory and interdisciplinary bias, as well as
a systemic approach, integrating the attributes of sustainability and the environmental,
economic and social dimensions, and, additionally, when applied in conjunction with the
SWOT, it provides corrective measures to critical points. The results of the indicators of
environmental dimension - 8.5, economic dimension - 7.7, and social dimension - 8.3
indicate that, with an aggregate value of 8.2, the property analyzed can be classified as
"good" in relation to sustainability. On the other hand, results reached between the
dimensions also display low average values. Indicators assessed as poor are: commercial
product presentation - note 1,7 (economic); dependence on external resources - note 4,7
(economic); organic matter with origin in the property (%) - note 4,2 (ecological); diversity
of alternative techniques - note 3,3 (ecological); satisfaction with public technical
assistance - note 3,3 (social); persons occupied by ha (total of the productive unity) - note
5,0 (social); persons employed/ typical demanded days - note 6,0 (social). The research,
in addition to its limitations, also demonstrated that the strategic analysis, starting from the
SWOT Matrix, focusing on the organizational areas, and conducted by the MESMIS
method, is an essential tool for the administrator to execute actions that improve the
sustainability of the agroecosystem in which his/her venture is inserted.
