Abstract

This study aimed to describe the experience of a supervised internship in the IFPA agronomy course - Campus Castanhal, in order to identify the factors of agrobiodiversity in an agroecosystem located in the municipality of Irituia-PA. The methodological tools used to collect the data for this study come from the Term of Reference (TDR). The studied productive system is subdivided into SAFs, Reserva and Roça. The SAFs and Reserve environment has energy self-sufficiency and resilience, with little intervention. It is perceived that agrobiodiversity is the basis for quality of life for farmers, as they help in socioeconomics and environmental preservation. The experience served as a means of strengthening the importance of agrobiodiversity for the resistance of ecologically fair systems, forming students more aware of the local reality.
