Abstract
Por meio da análise documental, analisaram-se documentos institucionais e acadêmicos que se propuseram a desenvolver indicadores de sustentabilidade para os agroecossistemas. O principal objetivo foi sintetizar as propostas teóricas e metodológicas que possam surgir como uma referência para as decisões sobre as áreas de manejo agroecológico dos recursos naturais. Apresentando assim, os critérios múltiplos sobre os quais a tomada de decisão pode ocorrer. Para tanto, a investigação está baseada em dois aspectos base. O primeiro descreve a ordem disciplinar dos indicadores, analisando se há o emprego da perspectiva interdisciplinar na construção e uso dos mesmos. O segundo analisa essas ferramentas quanto aos aspectos de ordem interna e externa. A ordem interna refere-se à relação entre conceitos e teorias que fundamentam os indicadores e os procedimentos operacionais desse conhecimento produzido. E a externa refere-se aos determinantes político-institucionais que expressam a configuração das universidades e institutos de pesquisa, além da finalidade ou os propósitos sob os quais os indicadores são construídos.

The main objective was to synthesize the theoretical and methodological proposals which may arise as a reference for decisions on the areas of agroecological management of natural resources. Thus presenting the multi-criteria on which the decision-making can occur. To this end, research is based on two basic aspects. The first describes the disciplinary order of the indicators, analyzing whether there is the use of interdisciplinary perspective on the construction and usage. The second, examines these tools on the aspects of internal and external. The internal order refers to the relationship between concepts and theories behind the indicators and operating procedures of knowledge production. And the external refers to political-institutional determinants that express the configuration of universities and research institutes in addition to the purpose or purposes under which the indicators are constructed.
