Abstract: The measure of the sustainability in agriculture is a complex task because of various approaches existing and different quantitative and qualitative parameters available in function of the national contests. In this study it has been chosen a multi-dimension approach of the phenomenon including environmental, economic and social dimensions. The objective of the work is to build up 30 simple indicators of the three dimensions using the only sources of EU FSS and SAPM 2010 with the aim to cluster the NUTS2 areas of EU in four level of sustainability: High, Medium-High, Medium-Low and Low. Results are shown in the synthetic map.
