Özet:

The dusung farming pattern is the use of land by planting productive, economically valuable plants according to custom (culture-culture). Dusung farmers usually open land by planting short-term (3-9 months) types of plants in the form of vegetables and tubers, while long-term crops are planted continuously (1-5 years) as intercrops on the same land. Utilization of this land is carried out by always paying attention to the aspects of social sustainability and physical sustainability. Social preservation means that all family relatives depend on the long-term life they manage on the dusung land, while physical sustainability means that the long-term existence of plant species formed in the dusung land serves as a buffer for the ecosystem as well as the function of soil and water conservation that ensures the maintenance of the ecosystem in the dusung land. This encourages the author to conduct research that can provide an overview of the importance of maintaining the function of the dusung as an wanatani system (traditional agroforestry) which has always been maintained to this day.
