The study proposes and analyzes socio-environmental indicators of multi-stratified agroforestry systems (AFS) inserted in the Cerrado of Goiás, for this purpose, it uses the Framework for Marco para Evaluación de Sistemas de Manejo de Recursos Naturales Incorporando Indicadores de Sustentabilidad (MESMIS). A general socio-environmental index (ISG) is also proposed for each of the eight AFS analyzed, as well as a hierarchical cluster analysis to verify the similarities or differences between the systems based on the indicators. With the adaptation of the MESMIS method, it was possible to observe the productive efficiency of AFS and agroecosystems, as well as some factors that influence the commercialization potential of products from these systems. It was also possible to identify the profiles of part of the farmers that cultivate AFS in the Cerrado of Goiás, a little of the organizational characteristics of the agroecosystems, also what is the contribution of these systems to the quality of life of the farmers.
