Agroforestry systems (AFS) are a sustainable alternative for increasing agricultural, livestock, and forestry production levels, and can be defined as a modality of integrated land use for productive purposes (Nunes, 2024). Objective: To analyze the implementation process of the Cassupá and Salamãi AFS, focusing on community engagement and functional biodiversity assessment. Methodology: The research is based on documentary analysis using data produced and collected by Ecoporé in 2023 up to the completion of the study. The documents will be analyzed in full and classified according to their nature, including the monthly collection of data to characterize functional biodiversity by identifying the species present in the AFS through a census survey. Expected results: The documents show that the implementation project of the AFS in the Indigenous community is a complex technical and sociocultural initiative aimed at promoting the community’s economic and food sustainability, as well as contributing to the environmental conservation of the Amazon biome. The research is expected to expand understanding of the benefits of functional biodiversity in diversified agrifood systems, demonstrating its importance for environmental sustainability, food security, and the improvement of socioeconomic well-being. The results may support public policies and sustainable agricultural practices, promoting the adoption of diversified agrifood systems in Rondônia and other similar regions.
