Abstract:
In general, sustainable development has three dimensions, namely the economic, ecological and
socio-cultural dimensions. The development of community activities especially farmers who
need land is increasing very rapidly in line with the development of population and economic
growth. To achieve high economic growth, the productivity of land is driven in such a way that it
results in an increase in exploitation of natural resources which is reflected in the destruction of
forests, land, water, air and biodiversity. The application of the concept of sustainable
development faces various challenges because on the one hand economic development must
continue to be encouraged while on the other hand cultural integrity, local wisdom and physical
landscape must be maintained. This study aims to examine the economic, ecological and basic
historical aspects of changes in forest land use and recommendations on land use models that
provide the highest benefits and feasibility of farming. The results showed that farming that
implemented cocoa-based agroforestry systems, especially cocoa and in fact gave the highest
value of profit and feasibility based on economic considerations and an ecological perspective
based on local wisdom for farmers around the forest. |
