Abstract

Plants and livestock are essential sources of food for humans. However, crop and livestock productivity and health are often compromised by various factors such as pests, disease, drought, salinity, temperature extremes and pollution. Effective and sustainable breeding and conservation measures are needed to solve this problem. One option that can be used is biotechnology and genetic engineering. Biotechnology and genetic engineering are sciences that allow the genetic material of plants and livestock to be manipulated to obtain desired characteristics. This article discusses several examples of biotechnology and genetic engineering to improve quality and resistance in plants and livestock, such as transgenes, cloning, CRISPR-Cas9, gene editing and DNA synthesis. This article also discusses ethical, social, economic and environmental challenges and implications related to the application of biotechnology and genetic engineering in agriculture.

Abstract

Integrated farming-livestock systems offer a sustainable approach to agrocomplex development in Indonesia. This study analyzes the application of integrated systems in three different agroecosystems: wetlands in Karawang, drylands in Gunung Kidul, and plantations in Central Lampung. Research methods include direct observation, field measurements, and data analysis using Systems Dynamics Modeling, Data Envelopment Analysis, and Structural Equation Modeling. The results show three main typologies of integration: rice-cattle, food crops-horticulture-goats, and oil palm-livestock systems. Integrated systems increase nitrogen use efficiency by 37-52%, reduce chemical fertilizer needs by 45%, and increase farmer income by 43.7 % compared to conventional practices. Environmentally, these systems increase soil organic matter content, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2.4-3.7 tons CO₂-eq/ha/year, and increase biodiversity. Implementation challenges include institutional fragmentation, limited post-harvest technology, and lack of standardization of organic fertilizer quality. Critical success factors include institutional support, farmers’ technical capacity, and the suitability of technology to the local context. This research contributes to the development of a sustainable agrocomplex model that is adaptive to the diverse conditions of Indonesia’s agroecosystems, with important implications for food security and climate change mitigation policies.

Abstract

Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat terhadap kebersihan lingkungan melalui pemasangan plang edukasi di Desa Parambambe, Kabupaten Takalar. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah Participatory Action Research (PAR) dengan melibatkan warga secara aktif dalam setiap tahap kegiatan, mulai dari identifikasi masalah, perancangan pesan visual, hingga evaluasi dampak. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi partisipatif, wawancara mendalam, dan dokumentasi lapangan, kemudian dianalisis secara deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa plang edukasi berperan efektif dalam membangun kesadaran dan perilaku kolektif terhadap kebersihan lingkungan. Warga mulai menerapkan kebiasaan memilah sampah, menjaga kebersihan pekarangan, serta berpartisipasi dalam kegiatan kebersihan bersama. Selain itu, muncul rasa tanggung jawab sosial dan gotong royong sebagai wujud kepedulian ekologis. Secara keseluruhan, kegiatan ini membuktikan bahwa edukasi lingkungan berbasis media visual lokal dapat menjadi strategi komunikasi publik yang murah, kontekstual, dan berkelanjutan dalam mendorong perubahan perilaku ekologis masyarakat pedesaan.
