Abstract
Soroa-Campismo community is placed in Sierra del Rosario biosphere reserve. The settlement holds an amount of natural resources that has been an opportunity for agriculture biodiversity in different times. However, the region has been the scenary of agriculture modernization events with negative impacts on agrobiodiversity even when those processes were not always sustainable. In spite of all, landscape's natural conditions are still an opportunity for cultures diversification as an option for local development. On that sense it has been raised an inventary of the cultivated plants in farm “La Calendula”, which is part of the urban agriculture movement since 2013. The inclusion in the urban agriculture movement has supported a continuous increase of agrobiodiversity, especially in medicinals, ornamentals and fruits. The research has also the aim of build a guide to keep the increase of farm agrobiodiversity as well as to obtain new additional value from that agrobiodiversity. This guide could be also useful at communitary level.
