Abstract
This research has been developed within the framework of the COBARB project, in communities and farms of the Cuchillas del Toa Biosphere Reserve and the Alejandro de Humboldt National Park. The main objectives aimed at: studying a group of agrobiodiversity species considered underutilized, assessing the current management situation and their presence/absence in farms and plots, identifying the biophysical and socioeconomic threats facing these taxa in the different localities, as well as establishing actions and strategies to increase their use and conservation. Different methods were used to obtain the basic information, including the application of interviews and field expeditions with quick inventories in situ. A list of 30 species that were in advance considered underutilized, according to the criteria endorsed by their low frequency of appearance in formal and informal sales, therefore, this group focused on field research. The results obtained revealed that all classified as underutilized in the studied sites, 73,3 % of these taxa have very small populations, were considered scarce, the presence index for each taxa was calculated, the same had a value framed in an amplitude of (0-1), the pomegranate, the radish and the rollinea (Punica granatum, Raphanus sativus y Rollinea sp) obtained the lowest presence indexes (0 and 0,03 respectively).
