Abstract

Bioteknologi telah berkembang di Indonesia sejak lama namun cenderung lambat dikarenakan oleh beberapa faktor. Faktor pertama adalah minimnya dana penelitian dalam bidang bioteknologi. Penelitian bioteknologi dibutuhkan untuk meningkatkan kuantitas dan kualitas produk serta pengetahuan tentang bioteknologi. Faktor lain yaitu rendahnya sumber daya manusia, fasilitas dan kebijakan pemerintah yang terkesan memperpanjang proses pemasaran produk rekayasa genetika. Bioteknologi memiliki peranan positif bagi dunia pertanian, kesehatan serta lingkungan. Dalam dunia pertanian, bioteknologi membantu untuk mengurangi krisis pangan, memperbaiki kualitas pangan dan meningkatkan jumlah produksi hasil pertanian. Di bidang kesehatan, bioteknologi dapat mendiagnosis suatu penyakit genetis maupun non genetis serta mengobati penyakit tertentu. Dalam bidang lingkungan, bioteknologi dapat meningkatkan kualitas lingkungan yang telah tercemar seperti remediasi, bioleaching, mengurangi sampah plastik dengan memproduksi bioplastik serta memproduksi pupuk hayati yang ramah lingkungan.Development of Biotechnology in IndonesiaABSTRACTBiotechnology has developed in Indonesia for a long time but tends to be slow due to several factors. The first factor is the lack of research funding in the field of biotechnology. Biotechnology research is needed to increase the quantity and quality of products and knowledge about biotechnology. Other factors are low human resources, facilities, and government policies that seem to extend the marketing process of genetic engineering products. Biotechnology has a positive role for the world of agriculture, health and the environment. In the world of agriculture, biotechnology helps to reduce the food crisis, improve food quality and increase the amount of agricultural production. In the health sector, biotechnology can diagnose a genetic and non-genetic disease and treat certain diseases. In the environmental field, biotechnology can improve the quality of polluted environments such as remediation, bioleaching, reducing plastic waste by producing bioplastics and producing environmentally friendly biological fertilizers.Keywords: biotechnology, factors, agriculture, health, environment
