The utilization of land together between trees and crops is one of the strategies in land rehabilitation program in Indonesia. High pressure from people living surrounding the forest land required the forest managers to invite more participation from the people in managing the forest land. Agroforestry pattern with certain tree species chosen by forest managers together with certain crops preferred by the communities may become the solution for all stakeholders’ interests in a high-pressured forest area. One of the considerations in agroforestry development is economic aspect. This study aims to analyze the financial feasibility of agroforestry pattern auri (Acacia auriculiformis) and peanut, pigeon pea, and corn in Batulanteh forest management unit (FMU) in Sumbawa, West Nusa Tenggara. The feasibility assessment criteria used in this study were Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR). The result of this study showed that agroforestry pattern of auri with paddy, peanut, pigeon pea and corn is financially feasible with the NPV, IRR and BCR values are IDR14.607.837.-, 53 % and 1.51 respectively.

“…The Kyoto Protocol recognizes it as a greenhouse gas-mitigation alternative (Krauss, n.d.). It is also regarded as a greenhouse gas reduction option under the United Nations-based REDD+ (reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, conserving and increasing forest carbon stores, and managing forests sustainably) program for tropical developing regions (Atangana et al, 2014).…”

“…The majority of research has focused on aboveground biomass and carbon in Climate Smart Agriculture systems (Segura et al, 2006). This scenario makes promoting Climate Smart Agriculture systems in voluntary and non-voluntary carbon credit schemes that utilize nancial incentives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions problematic (Atangana et al, 2014).…”

Cocoa production has long been thought to be a cause of forest loss and thus an environmental issue. Cocoa sustainability systems, particularly agroforestry systems, are being investigated as a means of mitigating climate change through carbon sequestration. However, most agroforestry research has concentrated on forest management and cacao yield, and soil organic carbon (SOC) reserves are little understood. In the South West Region (NAWA) of Cote d'Ivoire, we undertook a study to quantify and compare soil organic carbon stocks in cocoa sustainability systems (agroforestry, organic fertilizer use, etc.) and traditional cocoa farming. Soil samples were taken at three different depths: 0-15 cm, 15-30 cm, and 30-45 cm, and examined according to normal soil testing protocols. SOC was found to be higher in plantations where farmers practiced sustainability programs than in plantations where farmers did not practice sustainability programs. According to the study, a farmer who grows cocoa intercropped with shade trees (fruit and non-fruit) on his plot is more likely to gain from soil carbon credits than a farmer who grows conventional cocoa. If farmers farming sustainable cocoa grew shade trees and employed organic fertilizers, they would be able to trap more carbon. Incentives are needed to stimulate the planting and maintenance of shade trees, as well as the use of organic fertilizers in cocoa farms for carbon sequestration purposes.
