“…horizontal gene transfer of recombinant DNA). In addition, genetically modified organisms can compete with and displace resident taxa, which could disrupt ecosystem processes (Myhr & Traavik, 1999). In order to safeguard against these outcomes, controlled studies are required to evaluate risks (Myhr & Traavik, 1999).…”

“…Tetapi keuntungan teknologi baru seringkali dapat dilihat dengan mudah, sementara biayanya sulit diperkirakan mengingat adanya ketidak-pastian dan risiko serta pengetahuan yang belum sempurna. Keuntungan dapat dinikmati dalam jangka pendek (seperti Revolusi Hijau dan sekarang Revolusi Genetika), sementara ramalan tentang dampak merugikan dilakukan berdasarkan skenario, kare-na akibat nyata dari teknologi mungkin baru terlihat setelah jangka waktu panjang (Myhr dan Traavik, 1999 dalam Jhamtani, 2000).…”

The objectives of this paper are: (1) To analysis the performance of transgenic farming system; (2) To assess the socio-economic impact of transgenic farm development, and (3) To describe current status and perspective of transgenic farm development. The review of emperical study indicated that: (1) Transgenic agricultural farming technically is feasible, but economically and environmentally still debatable. For developing countries, the socio-economic impact of transgenic farming development is the widening of technology dependency as well as income distribution, because of the limitation of technology adoption for the small-farmers; (2) For Indonesia, the consquences of foreign exchange earning reduction due to unwillingness of major importer of Indonesian agricultural product such as Japan and Europe Economic Countries (MEE), should be taken into account. In addition, the high dependency of transgenik agricultural technology is consider to be too visky for big country like Indonesia, for massive development in term of commodity coverage and area of development; (3) Transgenic agricultural development can be restricted just for import substitution agricultural commodities, with the prerequisite of having technically, socio-economically, as well as environmentally feasibility. The said development should be conducted on the respective area with the intention to fulfil domestic demand deficit. Strategic Biotechnology research for generation, assessment, and transgenic agricultural development should be inisiated to anticipate transgenic agricultural development in the future.Key words: transgenic technology, feasibility and impact of development, future perspective. ABSTRAKTulisan ini bertujuan untuk (1) Menganalisis keragaan usahatani tanaman transgenik, (2) Menganalisis dampak sosial ekonomi pengembangan tanaman transgenik, dan (3) Menganalisis permasalahan dalam pengembangan tanaman transgenik. Berdasarkan pembahasan, kajian ini menyimpulkan bahwa, (1) Usaha pertanian transgenik secara teknis layak dikembangkan, namun belum terdapat bukti secara meyakinkan dapat memberikan keuntungan ekonomi secara berkelanjutan dan masih diperdebatkan dampaknya terhadap keamanan lingkungan. Bagi negara sedang berkembang dampak sosial ekonomi pengembangan produk transgenik adalah peningkatan kesenjangan penguasaan dan ketergantungan teknologi, melebarnya disparitas pendapatan karena keterbatasan adopsi teknologi oleh petani lapisan bawah (2) Bagi Indonesia konskwensi kerugian ekonomi (devisa) sebagai akibat penolakan produk pertanian transgenik oleh negara importir utama seperti Jepang dan Masyarakat Ekonomi Eropa perlu dipertimbangkan secara seksama dalam pengembangan pangan/pertanian transgenik. Disamping itu ketergantungan teknologi biologis (bibit) pertanian transgenik dinilai sangat berisiko bagi negara besar seperti Indonesia, bila pengembangannya dilakukan dalam cakupan komoditas yang luas dan berskala besar, dan (3) Pengembangan pertanian transgenik dapat dilakukan secara terbatas, khususnya untuk komoditas pe...

“…When the array of possible gene drive systems and applications is considered as a homogeneous category-as has been the case in much of the public discussion thus far-the uncertainties remaining at this early stage of research and development may be perceived as daunting. Some have argued for decades that the precautionary principle should be applied to any release of genetically modified organisms (for example [21]). The precautionary principle indicates that when human activities may lead to morally unacceptable harm that is scientifically plausible, but uncertain, actions shall be taken to avoid or diminish that harm [22].…”

After years of success in reducing the global malaria burden, the World Health Organization (WHO) recently reported that progress has stalled. Over 90% of malaria deaths world-wide occurred in the WHO African Region. New tools are needed to regain momentum and further decrease the burden of malaria. Gene drive, an emerging technology that can enhance the inheritance of beneficial genes, offers potentially transformative solutions for overcoming these challenges. Gene drives may decrease disease transmission by interfering with the growth of the malaria parasite in the mosquito vector or reducing mosquito reproductive capacity. Like other emerging technologies, development of gene drive products faces technical and non-technical challenges and uncertainties. In 2018, to begin addressing such challenges, a multidisciplinary group of international experts published comprehensive recommendations for responsible testing and implementation of gene drive-modified mosquitoes to combat malaria in Sub-Saharan Africa. Considering requirements for containment, efficacy and safety testing, monitoring, stakeholder engagement and authorization, as well as policy and regulatory issues, the group concluded that gene drive products for malaria can be tested safely and ethically, but that this will require substantial coordination, planning, and capacity development. The group emphasized the importance of co-development and co-ownership of products by in-country scientists.
