Abstract

Despite being primarily a rice-agriculture nation, Indonesia is one of the world’s top coffee consumers. In Indonesia, coffee consumption reached 1.13 kg per year. Wonosobo Regency has been one of the coffee-producing areas in the country for years. Wonosobo’s coffee production is sustainable due to policies and needs that emphasize community-based conservation. In terms of community conservation, this study looks at the sustainability of agriculture and the coffee industry in Wonosobo. The research data was collected from field observations, interviews with relevant sources, and literature review studies in conjunction with the discussion. This study focuses on social effects using qualitative methods. Per the findings of this report, Wonosobo has a concept of sustainable agriculture and the coffee industry built on community-based conservation. There is a principle of synergy between farmer groups, coffee processors, government, and other related roles that focus on social, environmental, economic, and cultural values to support the realization of sustainable agriculture and coffee industry in Wonosobo, even in the pandemic situation.
