Coffee agroforestry systems were studied in the Upper Sekampung Watershed in Sumatra, Indonesia to evaluate their social and economic impacts. 408 coffee farmer households practicing multi-strata agroforestry systems were interviewed. Using propensity score matching, adopters of agroforestry systems had higher total farm incomes than non-adopters, due to higher revenues from timber and other crops. Agroforestry also reduced risks from issues like land degradation and water shortages that farmers perceived as important. Overall, the coffee agroforestry systems improved farmers' livelihoods and provided environmental benefits like reduced soil erosion.
