With the objective of characterizing agroecosystems as well, how to identify problems and needs of producers and in turn develop proposals aimed at favoring the processes of socialization in values ​​associated with the biodiversity that are really internalized and mobilizing. The socioeconomic characterization of 41 mountain agroecosystems (coffee growers, cocoa, coconut and agrosilvopastoral) was performed, randomly with different age groups, of which 5 were women, which meant 12% of the total producers studied. With a total area of ​​235.48 (ha) located in 4 municipalities of the Nipe-Sagua-Baracoa mountain range.
