Abstract
Inventories of agricultural diversity in peasant farms in three municipalities in Granma province, were performed. Species number and area per crop were counted and classified taxonomically. The number of species was determinated by farms, the importance of the species given by the frequency of occurrence in agroecosystems studied. Results indicated that agrobiodiversity of the evaluated properties is represented by 27 species belonging to 17 botanical families. The largest number of managed species was achieved on farms “Bella Luisa” of Guisa municipality and “El Bosque” from Jiguaní with 11 and 10 species respectively. The wealth of species by crop group was dominated by vegetables and fruits. It concluded that diversity of crops of economic importance in the farms are low. The crops in the farm are closely related with basic nutrition, where predominated crops rich in carbohydrates, wilts that the source of vegetal protein is represented only by bean.
