ABSTRACT
This study examines the integration of coffee patents and local wisdom as an instrument for enhancing the welfare of local farmers in Banyuwangi, thereby identifying the main problems of low productivity and limited legal protection. The research aims to review the literature and analyse governance network arrangements in strengthening community capacity. A qualitative approach is employed, emphasising thematic analysis, the interpretation of official documents, and network indicators as proposed by Provan and Kenis (2008), thus enabling the mapping of actor role distribution and institutional legitimacy. Secondary data were obtained from the Banyuwangi Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DJKI), and modules on local wisdom, with validity reinforced through triangulation of documents and field reports. The findings reveal that coffee production reaches 904.4 kilograms per hectare, while patent mechanisms and culturally based educational modules enhance product differentiation. Nevertheless, the actor network requires stronger consolidation to reinforce legitimacy. The discussion highlights that cohesion, managerial capacity, innovation adaptation, and the integration of local and modern knowledge determine governance effectiveness, thereby making economic, social, and cultural outcomes measurable. Network governance is therefore recognised as strategically significant in sustainable development. The conclusion emphasises that the integration of coffee patents and local wisdom strengthens legitimacy, enhances farmers’ bargaining power, and sustains the system. Recommendations include strengthening managerial capacity, community participation, innovation adaptation, and the expansion of administrative institutional roles, so that collaborative policy can balance economic and social objectives.
