虽然热带多层家庭花园（或树木家庭花园）传统上被认为是健全、高效和可持续的土地利用系统，但文献中很少有对家庭花园的定量证据和详细分析来支持这一点。为了加强这一假设的基础并有助于对可持续性的操作理解，对家庭花园进行了文献综述，涵盖了不同的生物物理和社会经济条件。为此，确定了一系列可持续性描述符，就家庭花园对这些描述符的影响制定了假设，并在文献中找到了证实所提到假设的可能指标。家庭菜园具有许多可持续性属性，不仅能够满足许多农民的需求，而且不会对资源基础产生负面影响，在许多情况下甚至可以改善资源基础，而且还能够满足一些有助于其可持续性的经济、社会、生态和体制条件。
While tropical multistrata home gardens (or tree home gardens) are classically said to be sound, efficient and sustainable land-use systems, there is little quantitative evidence and detailed analysis of home gardens in the literature to support this. In order to strengthen the basis of this assumption and to contribute to an operational understanding of sustainability, a literature review was applied to home gardens, covering different bio-physical and socio-economic conditions. For this, a series of sustainability descriptors were identified, hypothesis formulated on what should be the effect of home gardens on these descriptors, and possible indicators confirming the hypothesis mentioned, when found in the literature. Home gardens possess a number of sustainability attributes, with regard not only to their ability to meet a number of farmers' needs without negatively affecting the resource base, and in many cases even improving it, but also to their potential to meet several economic, social, ecological and institutional conditions which contribute to their sustainability.
