Abstract

This study aims to analyze the various local wisdom of the coffee farming system in the Gayo Highlands and the existence of local wisdom in the agricultural system that is applied. In addition to identifying problems faced by farmers and how to handle them in managing agricultural resources in Bener Meriah Regency. This is not only as a form of preserving local knowledge related to the wise use of the environment but also as a solution to solving human and environmental problems. This study uses a qualitative research method with an ethnographic approach. This method was chosen because in carrying out the documentation it is necessary to have a holistic description of a study. Therefore we need data collection techniques in the form of participatory observation, in-depth interviews, life in, and documentation of informant activities related to the agricultural system. In the end, this research leads to the concept of Indonesia as a country that can penetrate the international market in coffee income through a local wisdom system that is still preserved. The results of this study are expected not only for scientific purposes and to answer research problems, but more importantly and significantly can contribute to identifying forms of local wisdom that are still maintained and provide benefits in the lives of local communities.
