“…Diagnosis with more than 500 families of farmers in the Santarém plateau showed that 70% of farmers had expanded their crops with a focus on fruit production [74]. This pattern was also observed in the evaluation of home gardens in several places in the country [75] and in studies in home gardens in Amazonia [25,76,77], where fruit-bearing trees such as açaí, cupuaçu, and banana are the more frequent species. Among the ten most frequent species (34.5 to 54.6%), exotic species are predominant.…”

Agroforestry home gardens are integrated arrangements of common vegetable plants near residences, resembling tropical forests. They cultivate multiple species to meet families’ basic needs, including food, medicine, and family activities. This study aimed to assess the composition and use of plant species in agroforestry home gardens in three municipalities in the western region of Pará. The study analyzed 119 home gardens in Belterra, Mojuí dos Campos, and Santarém in Pará, Brazilian Amazonia. These home gardens span peri-urban, urban, floodplain, indigenous, and tourist land zones. Data were collected through questionnaires and visits, surveying 5323 plants from 188 species and 62 plant families. The findings revealed that 80.5% of plants concentrated in just 18.6% of the species, with no significant difference in species per home garden across zones. Notably, food species, particularly fruit-bearing plants, dominated these home gardens. This indicates a potential emphasis on incentive programs and public policies. Most home gardens contained up to 17 plant species, while less than half included medicinal plants. Native and exotic species were equally represented, with native plants valued for shading benefits. Agroforestry home gardens are vital for conserving and cultivating food species. Their specific purposes influence species distribution and selection, showcasing their socioeconomic and environmental significance. Thus, recognizing and investing in these land-use systems is crucial to maintain and enhance regional benefits.

“…Os QAFs, também, podem ser considerados fonte de recursos medicinais, onde são cultivadas diferentes espécies de plantas com propriedades terapêuticas conhecidas a partir de saberes e práticas populares, como recurso primário para o tratamento de várias enfermidades das populações humanas (Pereira et al, 2021).…”

A presente investigação teve por objetivo realizar um levantamento da agrobiodiversidade, animal e vegetal, em dois quintais agroflorestais urbanos no município de Benjamin Constant - AM, Alto Solimões, Fronteira Brasil-Peru-Colômbia. Para tanto, optou-se pelo estudo de caso de caráter exploratório, participante, autonarrativo, descritivo e qualitativo. No primeiro quintal, da família Sá, foram identificadas 50 espécies vegetais, sendo as frutíferas e medicinas prevalecentes. Algumas destas espécies também são consideradas de uso múltiplo pela família, como a mangueira e o jenipapeiro. Também foi observado a presença de pequenos animais domésticos, destacando-se as aves e quelônios, ambos destinados para alimentação dos seus mantenedores. No segundo quintal, da família Santos, foram encontradas 25 espécies vegetais e 03 espécies de animais domésticos. As espécies vegetais que mais se destacaram foram o açaizeiro (Euterpe precatoria), e em segundo lugar o coqueiro (Cocos nucifera), considerando os dois quintais investigados. Fica evidenciado que a diversificação de plantas cultivadas e a presença de animais domésticos, principalmente, as aves, comum nos dois quintais, contribuem para segurança alimentar e nutricional dos seus mantenedores. Os dois quintais também desempenham funções e serviços ecossistêmicos relevantes, principalmente, na provisão de alimentos e recursos medicinais. Ressalta-se que as plantas medicinais são fundamentais no tratamento primário de saúde das famílias, sendo essas utilizadas a partir do conhecimento tradicional associado aos metabólitos secundários presentes em suas diferentes estruturas botânicas. Foi observado que os quintais agroflorestais também conservam a agrobiodiversidade in situ/on farm de diversas espécies vegetais, nativas e cultivadas. Por fim, considerando a multifuncionalidade e importância dos QAFs, especificamente em Benjamin Constant-AM, recomendam-se mais estudos em uma perspectiva sistêmica e holística desses agroecossistemas.

Agroforestry homegardens are integrated arrangements of common vegetable plants in areas close to residences, which follow a structure similar to that of tropical forests, with the cultivation of multiple species to meet the basic needs of families, such as the provision of food and medicine, as well as ensuring an environment for other family activities. Considering the importance of these environments, this work aimed to address the composition and use of plant species in agroforestry homegardens, in order to support society initiatives and government policies to strengthen the management of natural resources and individual and collective well-being in the region. For this, 119 homegardens were studied in the municipalities of Belterra, Mojuí dos Campos and Santarém, in the state of Pará, in the Brazilian Amazonia, comprising five different zones (peri-urban, urban, floodplain, indigenous land and tourist land), obtaining the data via questionnaires and guided visitation by the residents. A total of 5,323 vegetal individual plants were surveyed, distributed in 188 species and 62 botanical families. The data showed that 80.5% of the individual plants are concentrated in 18.6% of the species, with no significant difference in the average of species per homegarden in the five zones. The predominance of species for food use, primarily fruit-bearing, stands out, showing a possible direction for incentive actions and/or for the ordering of public policies and programs aimed at these spaces. Most homegardens have up to 17 plant species; less than half of homegardens have species intended for medicinal use; and there is percentage parity between native plant species and those of exotic origin, where native plants stand out for shading. Agroforestry homegardens play a crucial role in the conservation and cultivation of species for food purposes, with the cultivation or maintenance of plants based on their various purposes, showing distinct profiles of distribution and choice of species, evidencing their socioeconomic and environmental importance. Thus, it is important that these land use systems are valued, investing financial resources in actions and projects aimed at maintaining and enhancing their benefits for the region.
