Abstract
Agroforestry is one of the potential land rehabilitation techniques to provide forest ecosystem services which is needed by people.This study aims to analyze the economic value of agroforestry system as one of rehabilitation plan establishment inputs of degraded forest and dry land in Pelambik Village, Central Lombok District, Indonesia.The data used in this study were the proportion of agricultural crops and socio-economic characteristics of agroforestry farmers, whereby the proportion of plant area was obtained by direct measurements in the field and socio-economic data were collected by interviewing the farmers.Analysis of the agroforestry level was carried out by classification that is in accordance with crop plant area proportion.Economic analysis was conducted by calculating economic feasibility parameters which are farmer revenue, costs, profits and B/C or R/C ratio of agroforestry system.The analysis showed that 41% of the farmers apply initial agroforestry, 35% intermediate and 24% advanced agroforestry.The implementation of agroforestry in the more advance level was conducted by senior farmers such as those who have more family members, larger land area and higher education.The results of the economic analysis indicated that the initial agroforestry has the profit value of IDR.4,235,142/ha/y (B/C ratio = 1.65), intermediate agroforestry profit IDR.4,659,293/ha/y (BC ratio = 1.93) and advanced agroforestry IDR.3,287,166/ha/y (B/C ratio = 2.08).Thus, the implementation of farmer capacity development strategies and the use of silvicultural technology are needed to increase the current productivity of agroforestry in a more sustainable way.
