Summary: This article presents a new perspective of technology transfer aimed at communities of family farmers and traditional communities, with a focus on the Sateré-Gavião and Aldeia Tururukari-Uka indigenous communities, located in the metropolitan region of Manaus. These communities are composed of indigenous migrants from other regions of the state, such as the Lower Amazon and the Upper Solimões.The research adopts a qualitative approach, based on individual and collective oral reports obtained through interviews, informal conversations and meetings. The systematization of the data shows that the development of these communities, which seek to settle in territories close to the capital, represents a great challenge for research institutions. However, these challenges can be overcome through an approach that values traditional knowledge, promotes intercultural dialogue, and enables the construction of an agenda of actions for the sustainable rural development of these communities.
