Having as premise the systemic approach in the study of agricultural establishments, the objective of this work was to diagnose the production system of an agricultural production unit located in the municipality of Concórdia of Pará, PA. In order to gather information about the production system developed in the property, family composition, socioeconomic situation of the family, workforce, commercialization of production, among other aspects, techniques of systemic observation were used, such as semistructured interviews, transverse hikes and informal conversations with family members. It was verified that the studied property does not have as main source of family income the activities of cultivation and creation, the first one being used only to complement the income through commercialization and the second one for the family consumption. It was also noticed that the lack of technical guidance in pass informations about the use of good management practices, precise diagnoses of nutritional deficiencies and diseases in plantations, as well orientations about the animals management, mainly with regard to the correct destination of the waste, becomes one of the obstacles to the optimization of the production system. Although not the family's main source of income, the activities of cultivation and creation could be better integrated, favoring lower costs, better management and bigger utilization of products.
