This research aims to identify the factors measuring sustainable development in agriculture, its antecedents, barriers and consequences. To do so, first a literature review and qualitative research (involving 23 interviews) led to developing a questionnaire, which was then validated. Next, quantitative research involved collecting data from 220 family farmers in Brazil, and exploratory factor analysis was performed. This made it possible to understand how Brazilian family farmers perceived sustainable development in agriculture. This can be measured by 25 variables and 3 factors: natural agriculture; innovation and technology; and environmental aspects. The antecedents (predictors) of sustainable development in agriculture were grouped in 5 factors: external influencers; engagement with sustainability; concern about future generations; environmental motivators; and individual characteristics. Two factors (lack of information and knowledge; and lack of planning and support), defined the barriers to sustainable development in agriculture. Socio-environmental benefits and subjective well-being were the two factors measuring the consequences of that development. This article contributes to identifying the factors underlying sustainable development in agriculture, the antecedents, barriers and consequences of that sustainability, something as yet not identified in the literature on this subject, which indicates the innovation and originality of the study.

衡量可持续发展,其前因,障碍和对农业的影响:探索性因素分析

这项研究旨在确定衡量农业可持续发展的因素,其前因,障碍和后果。为此,首先进行了文献综述和定性研究(涉及23个访谈),导致制定了调查表,然后对其进行了验证。接下来,定量研究涉及从巴西220位家庭农民收集数据,并进行了探索性因素分析。这使得了解巴西家庭农民如何看待农业的可持续发展成为可能。这可以通过25个变量和3个因素来衡量:自然农业;创新和技术;和环境方面。农业可持续发展的前因(预测因素)分为5个因素:外部影响因素;参与可持续发展;对子孙后代的关注;环境激励因素;和个人特征。有两个因素(缺乏信息和知识;缺乏计划和支持)确定了农业可持续发展的障碍。社会环境效益和主观幸福感是衡量这种发展后果的两个因素。本文有助于确定农业可持续发展的基础因素,可持续性的前因,障碍和后果,这在有关该主题的文献中尚未发现,这表明了这项研究的创新性和独创性。社会环境效益和主观幸福感是衡量这种发展后果的两个因素。本文有助于确定农业可持续发展的基础因素,可持续性的前因,障碍和后果,这在有关该主题的文献中尚未发现,这表明了这项研究的创新性和独创性。社会环境效益和主观幸福感是衡量这种发展后果的两个因素。本文有助于确定农业可持续发展的基础因素,可持续性的前因,障碍和后果,这在有关该主题的文献中尚未发现,这表明了这项研究的创新性和独创性。
