This study aimed to address analysis and zoning of sustainability of family farming system in Kermanshah province. To achieve this objective, two steps were taken: (۱) Identification of a comprehensive framework to measure the sustainability of family farming system, and (۲) Evaluation criteria and sub-criterion weight for the proposed framework by conducting Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP). In this regard, firstly, ۱۲ agrarian experts who had theoretical and practical experiences were selected by purposed sampling for FAHP. Secondly, descriptive cross-sectional survey was carried out on family farming system. Results of FAHP revealed that management, capitals, vulnerabilities, and stresses were of utmost importance in a context of sustainability of family farming system, respectively. According to the findings, Eslamabad-e Gharb and Harsin with scores of ۷۲.۹۱ and ۵۸.۷۶ have high sustainability. In contrast, Qasr-e Shirin (۲۰.۹۲) showed high unsustainability. Furthermore, Sarpol-e Zahab, Kermanshah, and Javanroud with values of, respectively, ۵۷.۹۵, ۵۷.۳۷, and ۵۲.۹۲ lie in the middle of the spectrum.
