Resumo

The Quintal Agroflorestal is the area located in the surrounding region of the residence composed by the consortium among arboreal, agricultural and animal species. The semi-arid is composed mostly of small farmers who use the yard to produce food for their own consumption and obtaining extra income. The present study aimed to carry out a floristic and socioeconomic survey of rural agroforestry yards in the municipality of Mossoró-RN. Thus, a semi-structured questionnaire was performed in 27 households to survey the family characteristics and characteristics of the backyards. Data on trees in backyards were obtained by measuring plant height, canopy height, stem diameter, canopy diameter and vegetative stage. As a result, it was observed that families are composed mostly of adults (52%), with schooling up to elementary school (62.90%), young people have little interest in learning care of backyards (88.88%), , the management is carried out by the whole family, the plants are concentrated in fruit species (66%) and exotic (73.33%) with organic fertilization. The hen is the main breed among the animals found (84%). Few families sell products (22.22%), which can be related to the age of the backyards, since most of them are in formation (48%) and the low diversity of species found in each yard. Thus, the importance of agroforestry yards was verified, being an essential element from which products for a range of purposes are removed, from food, family income and even making the environment more pleasant, assuming a social and economic role before the families of the semi-arid Northeast. However, the need for enrichment with different agricultural and forest species in the rural backyards of the region is aimed at expanding food sources, timber and non-timber resources and generating income based on the production of backyards with family labor
