SUMMARY:

Traditional practices and management practices, often based on deep ecological knowledge, illustrate the interconnection between culture and nature. This knowledge, which encompasses agricultural and soil management practices developed over generations, is crucial for environmental sustainability and the well-being of rural communities. The idea that biodiversity belongs to both the natural and cultural domains is central to understanding the role of local populations in environmental conservation. This study investigates the strategies for conserving native seeds by farmers in the 10 Territories of Citizenship of Rio Grande do Norte, considering the ecological, cultural, social and historical dimensions of these practices. The research is based on the growing awareness of the need to integrate traditional knowledge into public policies to ensure sustainability and food sovereignty. In the context of the Anthropocene, where biodiversity is often treated as a commodity, the central question is: what strategies do farmers use to maintain and transmit knowledge about native seeds? The qualitative methodology adopted includes a systematic literature review, interviews and analysis of agricultural and seed management practices. Thus, the study aims to contribute to the appreciation of ethnoknowledge and ancestral practices, which are fundamental for the preservation of agrobiodiversity
