The adoption of agroecological practices such as consortium and agroforestry systems are effective in improving and maintaining soil quality, with the delimitation of factors that may be related to the preservation of soil fertility being essential. The indicators of sustainability of participative soils are characterized by their ease of application, which can be used by farmers themselves and contributing to improvements in family farming production systems. The objective was to quantify the levels of resilience and diversity in the different agroecosystems located in the Serraria, PB County. The studied agroecosystems had three contortium, three monocultures and three areas in transition to an agroforestry system. For the study, the Participative Rural Diagnosis was used as a tool combined with the method of attributing scores applied to social, economic and sustainable indicators. In not all systems, soluble chemical fertilizers and pesticides are used in their management, being the model of family production. From the analysis, it can be concluded that in small monoculture areas it is possible to guarantee a certain level of resilience of the agroecosystem when worked in a manner in keeping with the principles of management and conservation.
