Coffee agroforestry is a sustainable agricultural system that integrates coffee cultivation with shade trees, forestry crops, and/or food crops within a single land management unit. This system not only serves as production land but also provides significant ecological, economic, and social benefits. The purpose of this study is to outline the definition, opportunities, benefits, and challenges of coffee agroforestry based on literature reviews from various national and international sources. The study results indicate that coffee agroforestry can increase biodiversity, maintain soil fertility, reduce erosion, and play a role in climate change mitigation through carbon sequestration and microclimate regulation. From an economic and social perspective, this system can improve coffee quality, diversify farmer incomes, and strengthen the independence of forest village communities, particularly within the framework of social forestry. However, several challenges remain, such as excessive shade, limited access to capital and markets, and limited policy support. Therefore, an integrated strategy is needed, including technology adoption, regulatory strengthening, and multi-stakeholder collaboration, to make coffee agroforestry a model for inclusive and sustainable agriculture.
