In Indonesia and elsewhere, the minimization of trade-offs between economic and environmental benefits from agroforestry (AF) makes it attractive as rural development solutions that spread from forest margin to peri-urban areas. Lack of technology and skills to increase productivity sustainably, lack of market recognition of the ecosystem services as the co-benefit of AF management, and the dichotomy between agriculture and forestry in the government nomenclature that does not support agroforestry programs contribute to the disappearance of AF practice throughout the country. Due to the utmost diversities of AF management across highly variable local contexts, in scaling up AF's impacts on livelihoods and ecosystem services, guidelines to identify best options of AF management are needed. The objectives of this study are: (i) develop a framework and a set of principles to characterize best options for AF at landscape level within the broader surrounding regions, under economic geography of peri-urban to forest landscape, considering demands for agroforestry production and ecosystem services; (ii) guide the development of integrated agroforestry-based business models that fit local context and preferences. The paper will illustrate landscape-level AF scaling up through our past green growth planning work that combines spatial and development plans in South Sumatra province.
