ABSTRAK Tujuan Penelitian merumuskan model strategi penghidupan berkelanjutan petani dalam sistem pertanian agroforestri dalam melestarikan hutan di wilayah hutan Desa Oro-oro Ombo. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa konteks kerentanan petani di sekitar hutan berupa kerentanan kemiskinan menjadi ancaman terhadap sumberdaya alam. Krisis ekonomi dan Kemiskinan memaksa seseorang untuk bertindak merusak lingkungan. Modifikasi akses terhadap aset melalui pendekatan kelembagaan dan penguatan modal sosial. Modal sosial berisi land tenurial lahan hutan dengan hak dan kewajiban yang harus dipatuhi oleh kedua belah pihak. Modifikasi modal sosial masyarakat mendapat hak akses terhadap modal alam berupa lahan hutan, fisik dan finansial. Strategi yang ditemukan terbagi menjadi intensivikasi-ekstensifikasi dan diversifikasi. Strategi intensivikasi-ekstensivikasi menerapkan pola agroforestri jenis silvopastura rumput gajah, agrosilvikultur sayuran, dan agrosilvopastura kombinasi rumput gajah dan kopi. strategi diversifikasi memvariasi jenis penghidupan diluar pertanian. Strategi memberikan dampak terhadap keberlanjutan ekologi dan sosial ekonomi melalui rehabilitasi hutan, konservasi mencegah banjir dan longsor, menjaga keanekaragaman hayati, serta meningkatkan kesejahtraan masyarakat.

The results show that the context of farmers' vulnerability around forests in the form of poverty vulnerability becomes a threat to natural resources. The economic crisis and poverty force people to act to damage the environment. Modifying access to assets through an institutional approach and strengthening social capital. Social capital contains land tenure of forest land with rights and obligations that must be obeyed by both parties. Modification of social capital gives the community the right to access natural capital in the form of forest land, physical and financial. The strategies found are divided into intensification-extensification and diversification. The intensification-extension strategy applies agroforestry patterns such as elephant grass silvopasture, vegetable agrosilviculture, and combined elephant grass and coffee agrosilvopasture. Diversification strategies vary the types of livelihoods outside of agriculture. The strategy has an impact on ecological and socio-economic sustainability through forest rehabilitation, conservation to prevent floods and landslides, maintaining biodiversity, and improving community welfare.
