<![CDATA[This study analyzes the potential of coconut-based agroforestry as a regenerative economy strategy to support environmental recovery and economic resilience in post-mining areas of North Konawe Regency, Indonesia. The study is motivated by the need to connect post-mining land recovery with more diversified and sustainable livelihoods. A mixed-methods approach with a convergent parallel design and case-study strategy was employed. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, questionnaires, documentation, and secondary sources. The analysis combined descriptive statistics, interactive qualitative analysis, strategic-factor identification, and integrated interpretation to formulate the Coconut Regenerative Agroforestry Model (CRAM). Results from 30 respondents show that the potential of coconut-based agroforestry was perceived as high, with a mean score of 3.61. Perceived environmental benefits reached 4.00 and economic benefits 3.99, while community and institutional support reached 4.32. However, the perceived feasibility of using post-mining land for agroforestry was only 2.43, indicating a critical constraint. Respondents also identified diversification opportunities involving ginger, sengon, lamtoro, intercrops, potential livestock integration, and coconut-based processing. Based on the integrated findings, CRAM was formulated as a model linking land conditions, ecological restoration, coconut-based agroforestry, business diversification, value addition, community capacity, and multi-stakeholder institutions. The model positions ecological recovery as a prerequisite and economic regeneration as an interconnected outcome.]]>
