In the Brazilian territory, as well as in the territories of Latin American countries (although it has greater ethnic and cultural diversity than other countries), it has in its history a trajectory in the formation of the Brazilian people who carry the presence of diversity in their company. In Brazil, indigenous people reach more than 300 ethnic groups, as native peoples and other groups of individuals generally limited as traditional communities, among them quilombolas, fishermen, riverside dwellers, caiçaras, babassu coconut breakers, communities grazing land, rubber tapper communities and the farmers. The identification of the breeding community has been sculpted over the course of centuries, passing from generation to generation, being the object of research of some scientific research works by universities and research groups in graduate programs. This work brings results of academic works concluded and that understand as a problem: “having its specific tradition and culture, but being in different regions, how can a traditional community of farmers be established?”. The work describes the identity of traditional breeder communities and mentions the existence of these communities in territories in other regions of Brazil.
