Sumario: The present investigation was to analyze and assess the sustainability of primary production of three types of peasant production systems, (T1, Pasture and cattle; T2, vegetables based in onion and T3, mixed farming) in the assembly of Irrigation Porotog in Cangagua, Region Cayambe, in the northern Sierra of Ecuador. Interactive monitoring and evaluation with producers during a cycle of field activities (equivalent to one year); evaluating indicators in the social, environmental and economic variables, which show the operation of the Office of Agricultural Production, UPA, as a family production system. In the social variable, we found that the contribution of family PEA to the works on the UPA is majority in T1 and T2 systems; while the participation of children and the elderly is considerable in the T3. In terms of education the levels for the three types together, from 44 to 64% of family members, has just reached the primary education and the level of illiteracy is from 13-27%, which is the main problem to incorporate technological innovations to the UPA. The availability of basic services is 100%, but housing characteristics show that 40% of families have housing floor, which is an indication that there are limitations of family income. The contribution of labor, as a percentage of production costs was majority for the three typologies, which shows high dependence on family labor.
