Sumario:Analysing urban production systems is essential to develop strategies that strengthen their activities. In this paper, a methodological proposal is developed to evaluate of community-based agroecological sustainability in urban gardens of the General Pueyrredon district (Buenos Aires), from indicators. This evaluation consists, in the first instance, of a theoretical discussion of the 10 elements of agroecology (proposed by FAO), identified in 21 urban and community gardens. From there, a typology capable of condensing these experiences into 3 groups is defined and a set of indicators are identified to evaluate sustainability qualitatively and quantitatively in these spaces. The sum of the scores obtained by the indicators made it possible to define a Community-based Agroecological Sustainability Index. The results obtained favored the detection of the weakest aspects of each of the typologies, to redirect actions and strategies to achieve sustainability objectives.
