Abstract

Background: Agroforestry, which integrates agricultural and forestry crops on the same land, offers significant potential to enhance food security while restoring forest functions. In Indonesia, many watersheds face degradation due to land conversion and deforestation, leading to reduced food availability and community welfare. Linking agroforestry to food policy is therefore critical to address both ecological and social challenges. Methods: This study employed a literature review with descriptive analysis, examining research and policy documents related to agroforestry, watershed management, and food security. Findings: The results indicate that agroforestry development improves land productivity, supports biodiversity, enhances environmental quality, and strengthens local food security. However, successful implementation requires policies that integrate agroforestry practices with food security programs at the national and regional levels. Conclusion: Agroforestry is an effective strategy for simultaneously restoring forest functions and improving food security in Indonesian watersheds. Policy integration and coordinated programs are necessary to ensure sustainability and maximize impact. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study highlights agroforestry not only as an ecological solution but also as a food policy strategy, emphasizing its dual role in environmental restoration and food system resilience in Indonesia.
