Abstract. Land management through planting agroforestry patterns is very beneficial for the community because ecologically it can maintain soil balance, while economically increasing income because land productivity increases. The aim of the Community Partnership Program (PKM) is to increase the knowledge and technical skills of the Leuwisadeng village farmers on optimal management of agroforestry patterns. Technical guidance to the community about managing non-arable land, especially degraded / critical land, by developing Agroforestry demonstration plots and nurseries for forest plants and Multipurpose tree species (MPTS) in the form of fruit trees. In agroforestry demonstration plot land, biochar was applied as much as ± 50-100 gr in each planting hole in the upper soil layer, in addition to providing manure as much as 1-3 kg. The PKM results in the form of increasing understanding of Leuwisadeng village farmers in non-rice land management techniques and making biochar from a set of wood and bamboo that will be applied to land that has been planted with forest plants, MPTS and intercropping.agroforestry, biochar, a set of wood, bamboo Abstrak.  Pengelolaan lahan melalui penanaman pola Agroforestri sangat menguntungkan bagi masyarakat karena secara ekologi dapat mempertahankan keseimbangan tanah, sedangkan secara ekonomi meningkatkan pendapatan karena produktivitas lahan meningkat. Tujuan Program Kemitraan Masyarakat (PKM) ini adalah meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan teknis para petani desa Leuwisadeng tentang pengelolaan optimal pola agroforestri. Bimbingan teknis terhadap masyarakat tentang mengelola tanah non sawah garapan terutama lahan terdegradasi/kritis dengan membuat demplot Agroforestri dan persemaian untuk tanaman hutan dan Multipurpose tree species (MPTS) berupa tanaman buah-buahan. Pada lahan demplot agroforestri diaplikasikan biochar sebanyak ±50-100 gr pada setiap lubang tanamn pada lapisan tanah atas selain pemberian pupuk kandang sebanyak 1-3 kg. Hasil PKM ini berupa peningkatan pemahaman petani desa Leuwisadeng dalam teknik pengelolaan tanah non sawah dan pembuatan biochar dari sebetan kayu dan bambu yang akan diaplikasikan pada tanah yang telah ditanam tanaman hutan, MPTS dan tanaman tumpangsari.Abstract.
