The Cerrado is a biome that has great biodiversity and which hosts the sources of major watersheds.Notwithstanding all this importance, the biome has lost a great part of its natural coverage.With the objective of increasing wooded areas in family farming properties, projects are developed seeking to promote tree planting and to incentive the use of native biodiversity, although some of these projects seldom achieve the desired results.In order to investigate how the land is cultivated both by farmers who have undergone such projects, and also by those who have not, three settlements that participated in tree planting incentive projects have been selected.In order to understand the tree planting initiatives, interviews were carried out, as well as a participative mapping by satellite image and a survey that was conducted with 20 farmers.These methodologies were used to identify the characteristics of the tree planting adopted by the family farmers, such as the richness of species cultivated in their lands, the tree planting units and the characteristics of the farmers, grouped according to the richness of species and the area occupied by the tree planting.It was verified that the trees are cultivated by the farmers in 5 different cultivations units, which are spaces with their own function and structures.The plantations had 78 different species being cultivated, 38 of which were native of the Cerrado biome.The main trees cultivated in the lots were mango-trees, pequi-trees, orange-trees, avocado-trees and cashew-trees; showing a clear preference for fruit trees.Some characteristics of the farmers seem to have influenced the tree planting, such as their time in the land, their age, their gender and if they are paid for their work.The main difference between the farmers who have participated in the project and those who have not was in the richness of species, but of the five farmers that had the biggest areas and the largest cultivated richness, only one had participated in the project.The non-adoption of the techniques taught in the projects may be associated to the absence of a prior analysis of the plantations and the trees adopted by the farmers
