“SOCIOBIODIVERSITY, FOOD HABITS AND INTERGERATIONAL KNOWLEDGE IN A COMMUNITY IN
RESEX TAPAJÓS – ARAPIUNS, PARÁ”

Ecological knowledge. Non-timber forest products. Biocultural memory. Bioecological theory.

The objective of this work was to study the process of intergenerational transmission of knowledge about the use of products from sociobiodiversity in the food consumption of families in the Surucuá community, Resex Tapajós-Arapiuns, Santarém, Pará. Brazil is known worldwide for its rich biodiversity and plurality of peoples traditional products that use non-wood forest products for different purposes, knowledge transmitted intergenerationally. Concerning the theoretical categories traditional populations, intergenerational transmission of knowledge and biocultural memory and the analytical categories socio-biodiversity and eating habits, as well as the principles of the bioecological approach, the empirical research was carried out from January to March 2020. data was made through direct observation and interviews with 15% of the families living in the Surucuá community. The results show that the relationship of families with the forest and the backyards, show socio-biodiversity as an element of the socio-ecological system and plant extraction as a significant activity in the configuration of the community and the social reproduction and communication of the CET on biodiversity between generations, favoring the construction of biocultural memory, provided by observation and oral transmission. The knowledge of sociobiodiversity products has been transmitted, mainly through vertical transmission (90%), which is communicated by the forms talking and demonstrating (50%), with meal times being the main moment in which this occurs. Among the forms of acquisition, seeing and hearing stand out, with 42.5% of respondents responding. Besides, 24 species of local biodiversity were listed, which, through feasibility studies, can be included in the list and support the formation of new productive chains of sociobiodiversity.
