This study aimed to carry out an ethnobotanical survey, identify the plants indicated by the farming families of the Núcleo Regional Luta Camponesa da Rede Ecovida de Agroecologia; register their purposes, revenue management and through the testimonials understand how agricultural transformations influenced the occurrence of these plants. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews of dialogic form, was also held ethnobotany walk guided by the participants to visualize the plants that occur and are grown in the production unit, which have enabled photographic records. The information was transcribed in Excel 2007 tables, from which the analyzes were performed.
