Description:	This study analyses the inter-specific diversity of homegardens from family production units from two municipalities studied during the Wester Amazon Embrapa's Agro-Socio-Economic Diagnosis Project. The composition of 41 farmers' homegardens of two communities (Manaus and Presidente Figueiredo) were studied in order to evaluate agricultural diversity in government settlement. The results showed an increased diversity value in homegardens from settlement areas, indicating the possibility for successful adoption of agroforestry technologies that would improve farming systems in use.
