An alternate strategy for preserving biodiversity and reducing deforestation rates has been agroforestry, which can increase household income and maintain local livelihoods. One product that is commonly used and maintained by people near the forest is coffee. In this study we aim to analyze the economic contribution of coffee agroforestry systems in households. The location of this study is Topidi Village, under the KPHP Unit XIV Jeneberang 1 working area. We used the cost-benefit analysis. The procedure for selecting respondents using a method of purposive sampling based on a variety of criteria (various locations, ownership of an agroforestry-related enterprise, and participation in active farmer groups). We then compared the income earned from coffee agroforestry to that of non-agroforestry. We discovered that farmers who used the agroforestry system primarily planted coffee and cloves, adopting an agroforestry coffee and coffee-cloves. Based on the results, coffee agroforestry increases household income by IDR 33,940,300. In contrast, non-agroforestry, it is IDR 50,034,302. The agroforestry systems can contribute 40% to farmers^ revenue. On the other hand, income from coffee agroforestry can cover farmer household expenses. As a solution to degraded forests, agroforestry is expected to result in recommendations for the concept of reforesting converted land
