Implementation of environmental-economic concepts through farming risk management in highland vegetable agroforestry

Abstract

Agroecology-based farming in the management of highlands that is effective and targeted can provide economic benefits and protect land and the environment simultaneously. Sustainable land use is the use of land that meets current needs, and at the same time preserves these resources for future generations. This study aims to compare the farming income of cabbage monoculture, clove monoculture, and agroforestry of cabbage with cloves. Next is to look at the level of risk of each farming system and determine the farming system used by farmers as a form of risk management through the selection of cultivation technology by utilizing the suitability and adaptation of vegetation. The results showed that an agroforestry system is a form of risk management strategy for highland vegetable farmers with a monoculture cropping system that has prospects from an economic aspect but has a high risk from an ecological aspect.
