The Kalunga community is the largest remaining quilombo community the Center West of Brazil. The objective of this study was to characterize the social and economic aspects and production systems of the Kalunga of Cavalcante community located in the micro-region Chapada dos Veadeiros, in the northeast of Goiás. Data was obtained from primary sources, such as direct interviews with 18 families of the Community and with the leaders of the Kalunga of Cavalcante Association. The main crops cultivated by the families are corn, cassava, pumpkin, rice and beans. Regarding animal production, the families keep cattle for milk, as well as chickens and swine destined mainly for autoconsumption. The families gross income is made up of autoconsumption and income obtained from the sale of agricultural products, retirement pensions, wives´ salaries, social programs and other income from temporary activities outside the family unit. The families in the community face several problems, especially the lack of basic services and infrastructure, such as sanitation, health centers, schools, roads and also problems related to the agrarian issue. Thus, it is necessary that works developed in this community take these problems into account, considering the viewpoint of residents on their reality and the economic activities to be implemented through development programs, value their identity and knowledge as well as guarantee their participation in the search for better living conditions.
