Valuasi Penggunaan Lahan Dalam Pengembangan Agroforestri Di Sulawesi Selatan

Agroforestry development should address the following aspects: increased productivity, sustainability of the
system and adoptability as alternative land use by farmers (Raintree & Young, 1983). To develop agroforestry
development plan, it need to recognize existing problems and defined it clearly (Widianto et al, 2003). Land-use
valuation is one of methods to look for the efficiency of farming systems. This study aims to characterize
current land use systems both in Bantaeng and Bulukumba districts, South Sulawesi. The identification was
performed to find the major land use systems in the area, which used as main source of livelihood. Each landused
was assessed to define financial profitability as well as the labor engagement figure. Due to the different
life cycle period, Equivalent Annual Annuity (EAA) is employed to compare the performance of each system. The
discussion was explored using Raintree & Young criteria’s. The valuation suggests a range of major land-use
systems in the study area which is grouped into (1) crops, (2) simple mixed garden, (3) complex mixed garden,
(4) timber garden and (5) monoculture plantation. The valuation result draws figure of land-use productivity at
the diagnostic stage of agroforestry development. Some options of agroforestry development are offered
based on land-use typology and the livelihood figure.
