Popis: The objective of this paper was to identify economic, social and environmental factors produced by "palm oil (Elaeis guianensis Jacq.) agrobusiness", from the integration of family agriculture to the activity, evaluating its effect on the dynamics of local development in Baixo Tocantins. The data were collected on field research with the social subjects linked to the chain. The results revealed that the chain governance, the social sustainability, the environmental sustainability, the climate change and the technical qualification are the factors that negatively affect the organization of socio-economic and environmental space of the farming families. The latent factors allowed us to construct the Local Development Sustainability Index (LDSI) to evaluate the degree of influence of the productive chain of palm oil in configuring people’s quality of life. The LDSI has highlighted the palm oil inability to become a socio-economic and environmentally sustainable alternative, creating employment opportunities, income and improvement in the local population quality of life.
