Utilization of the landscape by humans resulted varied landscape character in watershed Krueng Aceh. Changes occur is not harmonious arrangement of the impact of land use in the Krueng Aceh watershed has caused floods and droughts. Agroforestry is a land management system by means of the practice of intercropping, stands of trees and crops.
