GIS. The average size of the homegarden was 447 m2. The floristic composition of Totonac homegardens is very diverse, 361 plant species were registered, of which 357 species belonging to 263 botanical genera and 102 botanical families were identified. Cultural practices of homegarden management in the Totonac community analyzed showed that small-sized orchards have a complex and diverse physiognomy. These are agroecosystems with relative selfsufficiency, in which ecological interactions are associated with the use and cultural management of species. They constitute an essential ethnobiological reservoir, allow the continuity of traditional ecological knowledge about the management and use of species, and are a constant source of primary products for subsistence.
