                         the ability of agricultural systems to maintain their production 
                         in the long term without depleting the available resources for 
                         future uses. This study proposes a decision support system for 
                         assessing the sustainability of the agricultural production and 
                         industrial processing of sugarcane in south-central Brazil by 
                         providing information structured according to criteria and 
                         indicators in the environmental, economic, and social dimensions. 
                         The information is organized using three tools: i) spreadsheets 
                         for evaluating technological efficiency, production efficiency and 
                         costs (Sugarcane Agro-industrial System Efficiency Index); ii) 
                         spreadsheet for evaluating sustainability indicators and 
                         generating the Sustainability Index; and iii) a combination of 
                         both indexes to construct the Sustainability Matrix and Semaphore, 
                         and to provide recommendations for sustainability management. The 
                         proposed decision support system contains a software (version 1.0, 
                         wherein all the information is available in electronic format, 
                         which helps to maximize assessment accuracy). Therefore, 
                         strategies such as the SustenAgro system, which helps to manage 
                         and to guide public policies, can improve the sector and enable 
                         suppliers and mills to ensure sustainable growth.",
