Conteúdo:	The Mato Grosso State is located in the midwest of Brazil and has more than 90,000 small farmers. This work carried out the study of vegetal species that compose homegardens biodiversity in rural communities during the year 2018, they are located in Carlinda and Paranaíta / Mato Grosso State / Brazil. Among the informants, 95% were female and 5% male, been both owners of their land. The interviewed group are predominated people aged between 51 and 60 years with incomplete elementary school. A total of 534 plants were mentioned, being 82 different species, belonging to the 44 botanical families. Of these, 53 are for food, 27 for medicinal use and 2 for other use. The observed average was 44 species per homegardens. Twenty native species were cited, of which seven are in the process of domestication, such as cupuaçu (Theobroma grandiflorum Schum.), Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa Humb. & Bonpl.). The main reason for the conservation of genetic resources by farmers was not what could be obtained with the resources planted or collected, but how much can be saved through their use. This information indicates that, when properly managed, yards represent a low-cost alternative to food and health security.
