Concepts & Principles of Coffee Agroforestry Management And Its Impacts To Coffee Farmers in Indonesia

In this Coffee Discussion webinar (DISKO) organized by SCOPI together with ICRAF, HRNS and Rikolto, the topic of discussion is coffee agroforestry management concepts and principles and their impacts (both economic and environmental) for coffee farmers in Indonesia. Through this Agroforestry coffee discussion, it is hoped that all stakeholders and actors from the coffee sector can start taking proactive actions to prepare themselves for any changes that occur in the coffee industry.

At this event it was conveyed that agroforestry must be able to support sustainable productivity, as well as provide benefits for all parties involved in the coffee industry. The benefits of agroforestry for coffee farmers include side income for coffee farmers from the agroforestry plants that they grow, preventing coffee plants from the direct impacts of climate change, having better soil conditions, and better growth coffee trees within agroforestry systems.

However, it should be remembered that in practice, agroforestry designs must be made comprehensively and be able to accommodate the social, cultural, environmental and economic values that exist in society. The reason is that agroforestry practices will be different in each existing area, so not all agroforestry practices that are successful in one area can be fully implemented in other areas.
