SUMMARY
A lot
of forest resources have been exploited excessively without considering about its sustainability. The condition of socio-economic in forest
community is one of pressure factor to forest sustainability. This is then be a problem, namely pressure of
forest resources by forest local residents without followed by improving the
welfare of those societies. Fundamental
issues on critical land is converting the land into a productive again by using
optimally remaining land. Therefore
handling strategies on critical land is needs to be done through
community-based approaches.
Three
dimensional agroforestry system is agroforestry technic that optimize the capability
and suitability of land. It’s not only horizontal perspective (beside), but
also vertical perspective (up-bottom).
The fact, in Javanese wisdom,
there is statement called “polo
gumantung, polo kependem” . Polo means planted crops , gumantung is hanging products and kependem means hidden underground. So, the using of land can be gotten from the
plants that is in trees and buried in the ground. Horizontally, the land can be planted by cash
crops and forest trees. While vertically
(up right) the land can be planted by epiphyte (orchids) and other climbing
plant such as pepper, Huwi
(Sundaness), vanilli and lianas. In
under ground direction, the land can be planted by tubers, such as cassava,
tuber plants (potatoes, yam, sweet potatoes, etc). In the development, three dimensional
agroforestry will give advantages to the
ecological aspect and socio-economic aspects.
