Abstrakt: This paper describes and analyzes the process and results of the construction of a framework to assess the sustainability of alternative food networks in Mexico City, using a transdisciplinary and systemic approach. We generated a practical tool with twenty-two evaluation criteria linked to five themes: "care for nature and waste reduction;" "equity and economic viability;" "quality, diversity and local products;" "social equity, transparency and democracy," and "learning and collaboration." Our method allowed us to develop common languages and context-appropriate tools for sustainability assessment; identify trade-offs and leverage points; and promote collective learning in alternative food networks.
