Abstract
Agricultural and forage land used are generally not increased even tends to decrease, therefore the land use needs to be optimized; one of them is by mean of multiple cropping system. Land management efforts through the multiple cropping systems selected is supporting the fertility of soil physical, chemical and biological. Multiple cropping systems require an appropriate plant species and a supportive environment to produce high-quality crops and availability of feed crops are sufficient throughout the year. Application of Multiple cropping system can increase the efficiency of environmental factors (sun, water and nutrients), inhibits the growth of weeds, suppress pests and diseases, save labor and improve the income of livestock farmers.Keywords: forage crops, multiple cropping systems, soil fertility

Summary
Lahan pertanian dan peternakan yang digunakan umumnya tidak bertambah bahkan cenderung menurun, oleh karena itu penggunaan lahan perlu dioptimalkan dengan cara salah satunya menanam sistem tanam ganda. Upaya pengelolaan lahan melalui sistem tanam ganda yang dilakukan adalah yang mendukung kesuburan lahan baik secara fisik, kimia dan biologi. Sistem tanam ganda memerlukan jenis tanaman yang sesuai dan lingkungan yang mendukung sehingga menghasilkan tanaman yang berkualitas tinggi dan ketersediaan tanaman pakan terpenuhi sepanjang tahun. Penerapan sistem tanam ganda mampu meningkatkan efisiensi penggunaan faktor lingkungan (cahaya matahari, air dan unsur hara), menghambat pertumbuhan gulma, menekan serangan hama dan penyakit, menghemat tenaga kerja dan meningkatkan pendapatan petani peternak
