  association with animals. These yards contribute to the healthy eating of small family

  farmers and help supplement their incomes. They are more environmentally correct

  practices that, among other things, allow greater soil protection. Thus, this work aimed

  to identify the plant species and their respective uses in an agroforestry yard of a

  private property, highlighting its importance in food and family income. For that, three

  days were spent in the rural property to get to know better the habits, customs and the

  interaction of the residents. Also, a semistructured questionnaire was applied to collect

  data and important information about the floristic agrobiodiversity present. Twenty-one

  plant species were identified, of which 95% are fruit trees, used for food and / or for

  sale. Among these, the one that stood out was the açaizeiro, being heavily consumed

  and the largest contributor to the income of the residents. 19% of the species have

  medicinal purposes, such as the andiroba and the holy grass. It was concluded that

  agroforestry yards are important agroecological practices that contribute to a better

  nutrition of the residents, besides being a way of using the environment without

  attacking it significantly and also is a way to complement the income.
