Shifting cultivation, as traditional agroforestry system with trial-and-error to provide sustainable land-use type, has been developed based on social, cultural and economic realities of local community. Development of shifting cultivation in Papua is usually to achieve household food security and economic access if their own needs fulfilled. However, the local agroforestry practices (LAPs) were still lack information on species diversity and technology. Enhancing the knowledge and skills of the LAPs are needed to improve modified agroforestry system for food security and climate change adaptation. Data was collected from households of Teluk Patipi District of Fak-Fak Regency using purposive sampling method through farm inventory. Through the modified agroforestry practice (MAPs), the production scale is expected to increase the local community income as well as to prepare food security in extreme climate conditions, the preservation of typical species, environmental conservation, and support low-carbon development strategy in West Papua.
Masohi bark is a primadonna product other than in Fak-Fak Regency, therefore it is necessary to study the preservation and development of masohi plants. Masohi has been developed based on local knowledge based on indigenous peoples. Survey method by exploring key figures related to land history, cultivation techniques, harvesting, and processing masohi bark. Furthermore, these data were analyzed using a Likert scale and showed that the role of indigenous peoples was still very high. The results showed that community seed gardens helped a lot in providing quality seeds with maintenance, prioritizing organic fertilizers, some harvesting of masohi bark was still being cut down, and problems with drying when wet conditions. In addition, it was also found that their management is still not based on technology and adaptation to climate change. Several strategic proposals are needed for further development for the parties so that sustainable management can still be sustainable in terms of quantity and quality.
