Abstract

Agroforestry has re-entered Indonesian public debate as a solution tied to food self-sufficiency, land restoration and climate action, yet how the news media construct it remains little examined. This study asked whose voices are granted authority in that coverage, which frames give agroforestry meaning, and whether the evidence offered is realised or promissory. A purposive corpus of 50 online news items from 19 outlets, published between 2013 and 2026 and concentrated in the 2024–2026 surge accompanying the national food-reserve forest programme, was analysed by quantitative content analysis with a thematic and discourse-informed interpretive layer, coding each item on five discursive axes. Within this corpus, government actors were granted authority in 68% of items and agroforestry was constructed as a policy instrument in 40%, while a local wisdom frame appeared in only 14%. Ecological restoration was the most frequent frame (70%), yet food self-sufficiency most often led an item. National-scale claims were predominantly promissory and local-scale claims predominantly realised (Cramér’s V = 0.50), and the promissory register appeared only from 2024 onward (p = 0.003). The study concludes that Indonesian media construct agroforestry chiefly as an instrument of the national food security agenda rather than as a community-rooted practice.
