The analysis of agroecological behaviors, based on indicators using a mathematical system to support decision-making, is something very unusual in academia. Therefore, we propose the use of indicators that take into account the qualitative and quantitative nature. The hypothesis assumes that information expressed through natural language, proposed in fuzzy logic, can lead to a better adaptation of data processing from informants. The comparative perspective addresses the environment and human beings, with their customs and productions in Nova Friburgo (Brazil) and Mendoza (Argentina), and uses fuzzy methodology, in order to facilitate modeling and make the problem solution more viable and realistic for several complex problems, involving many variables. As a result, we have a model that can analyze and identify which factors (peasantry, sustainability, social organization and rural development agency) and respective indicators make the greatest contribution to the adoption of agroecological practices. Encouraging decision makers and policymakers to strategically reflect on scenarios, in the context of the agroecological transition, is fundamental and can be facilitated by implementing an innovative monitoring and evaluation approach.
