Agroforestry systems (AFS) are means of sustainable agricultural production since they result in greater diversification of soil use, generating, consequently, more than one product for sale, contributing to the increase and maintenance of farmers' income. This has been the main model adopted by participants of the “Reflorestar” Program, idealized by the state government of Espírito Santo as a public policy to integrate water resources conservation and environmental preservation with income generation opportunities. The configuration of the AFS is variable, being influenced by climatic, cultural, and socioeconomic factors in which the producers are inserted. In this context, this research aimed to present a characterization of the agroforestry systems adopted by farmers from northern of Espírito Santo, participants of the Reflorestar Program. Three rural properties classified as family farms, located in distinct municipalities (Ponto Belo, Montanha, and Pinheiros), were selected. With the information obtained through a consulting company of the mentioned Program, it was observed that the crops chosen for planting in intercrop with native forest species were silver banana, coconut, and conilon coffee because this crops present high yields and better possibilities for sales due to the existence of producers’ association (case of conilon coffee).
