Abstract
The high demand for food and living of the community results in an imbalance in land use. Forest areas that have a conservation function become land for the production of monoculture or similar crops. This is due to many factors, one of which is limited public knowledge regarding the importance of forest land as a tool for environmental conservation. Community forests (HKm) are part of state forests which have the main objective of empowering local communities to utilize existing forest resources to meet their daily needs without changing the main function of the forest. Gunungsari Village, Tlogowungu subdistrict, Central Java is a village on the slopes of Mount Muria, which is at an altitude of more than 710 meters above sea level. This village has an area of 270,5 hectares with 157 hectares is forest land that can be used by the community. The management or cultivation of coffee plants (upstream sector) greatly influences the quality and productivity of the coffee plants produced later. For this reason, coffee has good potential to be cultivated by the community by developing agroforestry farming systems. The selection of respondent samples was carried out using a purposive sampling method with a Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) approach. This approach involves several stages, such as field surveys, data collection, counseling, discussions, and practical demonstrations. From the results of meetings with members of the Gunungsari Village farmer group, information was obtained that from a land area of 57,8 ha of coffee in Gunung Sari Village still does not fully implement an organic farming system based on an agroforestry system and is still limited to monoculture farming system.
