“Pekarangan” in Indonesian and the homegardens are the small scale of agro-forestry practices that have contributed significantly on low carbon society (LCS) when they are properly managed. In Indonesia, pekarangan covers more than 7.5 % of land in 2009. It means, when we manage pekarangan in a good way biophysically and economically, it gives a lot of benefits for households. It is proofed that a pekarangan could support a rural community, whether to increase its income, nutrition, social status and welfare. Therefore, it is needed to revitalize pekarangan as a proper assessment by the land-use policy and make some recommendations as new approaches to develop pekarangan that can survive in present and future conditions. This research elaborates a pekarangan system that helps to keep environment more sustainable and to create a promising future for rural communities while at the same time expect reduce carbon emission. Our recommendation is that the designing of LCS can be started from a micro scale, such as pekarangan system including an idea of Satoyama system in Japan.
