    Family farming, which is predominant in the state of Paraná, accounts for approximately 90% of rural establishments. A significant portion of these properties are smaller than one fiscal module, limiting their economic viability and compromising both food security and household income. In this context, productive home gardens emerge as a sustainable, low-cost, and highly diverse agroecological alternative. These spaces contribute directly to the production of healthy food, the preservation of traditional knowledge, and the generation of complementary income. This study aimed to characterize productive home gardens in the Northern Pioneer region of Paraná, analyzing their impact on food and nutritional security, eating habits, and the autonomy of the families involved. The research employed semi-structured questionnaires applied to family farmers who maintain productive home gardens, collecting socioeconomic data, diversity of cultivated species, management practices, and the frequency of consumption of fresh and ultra-processed foods. The results showed that most gardens are managed by women and rely on sustainable practices such as organic fertilization, biological pest control, and agroecological preparations. A wide variety of vegetables, fruits, medicinal and culinary plants was observed, promoting balanced diets. Despite the increasing presence of ultra-processed foods, those grown in home gardens still dominate the families' diets, highlighting their role as tools of nutritional and cultural resistance. In addition to promoting food sovereignty, these gardens contribute to biodiversity conservation, reduced dependency on external inputs, and improved quality of rural life. A biodiversity-rich, regionally adapted, and easily replicable garden model was developed, reinforcing its potential as a strategy for sustainable rural development and food security.
