A quantitative indicator of environmental sustainability is proposed using goal programming methodology. The proposed method allows different systems to be compared. An application with data for a farm in the VIII Region of Chile is developed. In this context, two ecological problems are analysed: the loss of soil to water erosion and the incorporation of organic material in the soil.
