Abstract
Most of the Dieng Plateau area in Central Java, Indonesia, is a stretch of agricultural land in the upper watershed whose sustainability is threatened. The degradation of agricultural land, which affects the surrounding area and the area beneath it, is an old problem that still needs to be resolved. Agroforestry has been promoted as a sustainable land management system with various benefits and advantages. However, data and information regarding its potential to overcome the degradation of agricultural land in the highlands still need to be provided. Our integrative review found that the benefits and advantages of agroforestry to reduce erosion rates and increase land fertility have the most potential to overcome the various impacts of agricultural land degradation in the Dieng Plateau. Adopting agroforestry deserves to be one of the main strategies to overcome the degradation of agricultural land in the highlands, not only in the Dieng Plateau but also in other highlands worldwide.
