The purpose of the study was to analyze agribusiness developmente and economic, social and environment sustainability of the Goiás State municipalities, in the years 1995 and 2005. Agribusiness is one of the most important sources of wealth in Brazil. Regardless, its conformation has not been homogenous for all regions, products and forms of production. Besides, the logics of the model for production rationalization through technological packages, with the Green Revolution has resulted in productivity gains, but as a consequence has generated deforestation, soil exhaustion, water pollution, health problems for rural workers, unemployment, rural migration and equity dismiss. Agribusiness development in Goiás resulted in changes on the social, economic and environmental space, and such changes may compromise future generations. The purpose of the study was to analyze agribusiness development, environmental economic and social sustainability in the Goias state municipalities. It has been associated agribusiness development with sustainable development; It has been identified the degree of sustainability of development of the municipalities, period 1995-2005, through the elaboration of the sustainable index; It has been analyzed through comparisons among those years, the municipalities evolution in terms of economic, social and environmental viability search. In this way the method of analysis used was the factor multivariate analysis, which permits to put together regions and municipalities with similar profiles and variable groups to delineate patterns of characteristics and variations; identify the stage and explaining factors among agribusiness development and sustainability, measure and analyze the degree of sustainable development in the Goias municipalities, which ends up helping the elaboration of public policies compatible with the needs of the municipalities and great regions of the State. Based on the results it can be concluded that: there is great heterogeneity among municipalities and great regions, in relation with the agribusiness development and such development was present and highlighted in the same municipalities during the 1995-2005 period, as an example Jatai and Rio Verde; the agribusiness performance is directly related to sustainability as ca defined, in at least one of the social, economic or environmental variables and that, even though large part of the municipalities have presented very low levels of sustainable development, throughout the ten years period, in general, the state has shown evolution in the search for sustainable development. However, such results indicate the possibility of more specific studies and need to focus regional development aiming to reduce inequalities among municipalities and guarantee the permanent search for sustainable development.
