Manipulating and engineering genetic material in the lab may
represent the best hope for increasing agricultural production
further without destroying more natural lands.
But many people remain uneasy about genetically engineering
crop plants and other organisms.

Genetically modified foods (GM foods, or biotech foods) are
foods derived from genetically modified organisms (GMOs),
specifically, genetically modified crops.
GMOs have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by
genetic engineering techniques.
These techniques are much more precise than mutagenesis
(mutation breeding) where an organism is exposed to radiation or
chemicals to create a non-specific but stable change.
Other techniques by which humans modify food organisms
include selective breeding; plant breeding, and animal breeding,
and somaclonal variation.

MENGGUNAKAN
DNA - REKOMBINAN
Genetic engineering (GE) = directly manipulating an organism’s
genetic material in the lab by adding, deleting, or changing segments of
its DNA
Genetically modified (GM) organisms = genetically engineered using
recombinant DNA technology
Recombinant DNA = DNA patched together from DNA of multiple
organisms (e.g., adding disease-resistance genes from one plant to the
genes of another)

What is transgenic food?
Transgenic food are those directly made from or processed from
the species (animals, plants and microorganisms, etc.) which can
produce substances possessing highly effective expressions, such
as polypeptide and protein, after one or several types of exogenous
genes are transferred into it through the means of genetic
engineering.
The first category----transgenic plant food
product
There are various kinds of transgenic plant foods, such as high
protein wheat used to bake breads. To reverse the situation that
wheat in the current market contains low rate of protein, protein
genes possessing highly effective expressions are transferred into
wheat, so that bread made from the wheat can be of more
nutritious value.

Transgenosis technology is a kind of modern
technology in molecular biology, which is used
to transfer genes from one species into another
so as to reconstruct the genetic materials of the
receiving species for the improvement of its
properties, quality of nutrition in line with the
need of human beings.
The transgenic species as immediate food and
food processed from transgenic species are
called transgenic food.

They are similar:
We have been altering crop genes (by artificial
selection) for thousands of years.
There is no fundamental difference: both approaches
modify organisms genetically.
They are different:
GE can mix genes of very different species.
GE is in vitro lab work, not with whole organisms.
GE uses novel gene combinations that didn’t come together
on their own.

Health concerns and potential food hazards
Health risks associated with genetically modified foods are
concerned with toxins, allergens, or genetic hazards. The
mechanisms of food hazards fall into three main categories
(Conner et al., 1999):
1. Inserted genes and their expression products
2. Secondary and pleiotropic effects of gene expression
3. Insertional mutagenesis resulting from gene
integration
For example, bean plants that were genetically modified to
increase cysteine and methionine content were discarded after the
discovery that the expressed protein of the transgene was highly
allergenic. (Butler et al., 1999)

The potential risks accompanied by disease
resistant plants deal mostly with viral resistance.
It is possible that viral resistance can lead to the
formation of new viruses, and therefore new
diseases.
It has been reported that naturally occurring
viruses can recombine with viral fragments that
are introduced to create transgenic plants, forming
new viruses.
Additionally, there can be many variations of this
newly formed virus. (Steinbrecher, 1996)

Crop diversity is the variance in genetic and phenotypic
characteristics of plants used in agriculture.
Crops may vary in seed size, branching pattern, in height,
flower color, fruiting time, or flavor.
They may also vary in less obvious characteristics such
as their response to heat, cold or drought, or their ability
to resist specific diseases and pests.
It is possible to discover variation in almost every
conceivable trait, including nutritional qualities,
preparation and cooking techniques, and of course how a
crop tastes. And if a trait cannot be found in the crop
itself, it can often be found in a wild relative of the crop;
a plant that has similar species that have not been farmed
or used in agriculture, but exist in the wild.

Energy is lost at each trophic level.
When we eat meat from a cow fed on grain, most of the grain’s
energy has already been spent on the cow’s metabolism.

PRINSIP KESEHATAN
Organic Agriculture should sustain and enhance the health of
soil, plant, animal, human and planet as one and indivisible.
This principle points out that the health of individuals and
communities cannot be separated from the health of ecosystems healthy soils produce healthy crops that foster the health of
animals and people.
Health is the wholeness and integrity of living systems. It is not
simply the absence of illness, but the maintenance of physical,
mental, social and ecological well-being. Immunity, resilience
and regeneration are key characteristics of health.
The role of organic agriculture, whether in farming, processing,
distribution, or consumption, is to sustain and enhance the health
of ecosystems and organisms from the smallest in the soil to
human beings. In particular, organic agriculture is intended to
produce high quality, nutritious food that contributes to
preventive health care and well-being.
In view of this it should avoid the use of fertilizers, pesticides,
animal drugs and food additives that may have adverse health
effects.

ORGANIK
PRINSIP EKOLOGI
Organic Agriculture should be based on living ecological systems and
cycles, work with them, emulate them and help sustain them.
This principle roots organic agriculture within living ecological systems.
It states that production is to be based on ecological processes, and
recycling. Nourishment and well-being are achieved through the ecology
of the specific production environment. For example, in the case of
crops this is the living soil; for animals it is the farm ecosystem; for fish
and marine organisms, the aquatic environment.
Organic farming, pastoral and wild harvest systems should fit the cycles
and ecological balances in nature. These cycles are universal but their
operation is site-specific. Organic management must be adapted to local
conditions, ecology, culture and scale. Inputs should be reduced by
reuse, recycling and efficient management of materials and energy in
order to maintain and improve environmental quality and conserve
resources.
Organic agriculture should attain ecological balance through the design
of farming systems, establishment of habitats and maintenance of
genetic and agricultural diversity. Those who produce, process, trade, or
consume organic products should protect and benefit the common
environment including landscapes, climate, habitats, biodiversity, air and
water.

PRINSIP KEADILAN
Organic Agriculture should build on relationships that ensure fairness
with regard to the common environment and life opportunities.
Fairness is characterized by equity, respect, justice and stewardship of
the shared world, both among people and in their relations to other
living beings.
This principle emphasizes that those involved in organic agriculture
should conduct human relationships in a manner that ensures fairness at
all levels and to all parties - farmers, workers, processors, distributors,
traders and consumers.
Organic agriculture should provide everyone involved with a good
quality of life, and contribute to food sovereignty and reduction of
poverty. It aims to produce a sufficient supply of good quality food and
other products.
This principle insists that animals should be provided with the
conditions and opportunities of life that accord with their physiology,
natural behavior and well-being.
Natural and environmental resources that are used for production and
consumption should be managed in a way that is socially and
ecologically just and should be held in trust for future generations.
Fairness requires systems of production, distribution and trade that are
open and equitable and account for real environmental and social costs.

PRINCIPLE OF CARE
Organic Agriculture should be managed in a precautionary and
responsible manner to protect the health and well-being of current and
future generations and the environment.
Organic agriculture is a living and dynamic system that responds to
internal and external demands and conditions. Practitioners of organic
agriculture can enhance efficiency and increase productivity, but this
should not be at the risk of jeopardizing health and well-being.
Consequently, new technologies need to be assessed and existing
methods reviewed. Given the incomplete understanding of ecosystems
and agriculture, care must be taken.
This principle states that precaution and responsibility are the key
concerns in management, development and technology choices in
organic agriculture.
Science is necessary to ensure that organic agriculture is healthy, safe
and ecologically sound. However, scientific knowledge alone is not
sufficient. Practical experience, accumulated wisdom and traditional and
indigenous knowledge offer valid solutions, tested by time. Organic
agriculture should prevent significant risks by adopting appropriate
technologies and rejecting unpredictable ones, such as genetic
engineering.
Decisions should reflect the values and needs of all who might be
affected, through transparent and participatory processes.

An Assets-Based Model for
Sustainability
Agricultural systems at all levels rely for their success on
the value of services flowing from the total stock of assets
that they control. Five types of capital, natural, social,
human, physical and financial, are now being addressed in
the literature :
1. Natural capital
2. Social capital
3. Human capital
4. Physical capital
5. Financial capital.
Diunduh dari: http://www.essex.ac.uk/ces/research/susag/WhatissusagBa1.shtm …… 23/12/2012
AN ASSETS-BASED MODEL
FOR SUSTAINABILITY
1. Natural capital produces nature’s goods and services, and comprises
food (both farmed and harvested or caught from the wild), wood and
fibre; water supply and regulation; treatment, assimilation and
decomposition of wastes; nutrient cycling and fixation; soil formation;
biological control of pests; climate regulation; wildlife habitats; storm
protection and flood control; carbon sequestration; pollination; and
recreation and leisure.
2. Social capital yields a flow of mutually beneficial collective action,
contributing to the cohesiveness of people in their societies. The social
assets comprising social capital include norms, values and attitudes that
predispose people to cooperate; relations of trust, reciprocity and
obligations; and common rules and sanctions mutually-agreed or
handed-down. These are connected and structured in networks and
groups.
3. Human capital is the total capability residing in individuals, based on
their stock of knowledge skills, health and nutrition. It is enhanced by
their access to services that provide these, such as schools, medical
services, and adult training. People’s productivity is increased by their
capacity to interact with productive technologies and with other people.
Leadership and organisational skills are particularly important in making
other resources more valuable.
4. Physical capital is the store of human-made material resources, and
comprises buildings (housing, factories), market infrastructure, irrigation
works, roads and bridges, tools and tractors, communications, and
energy and transportation systems, that make labour more productive.
5. Financial capital is accumulated claims on goods and services, built up
through financial systems that gather savings and issue credit, such as
pensions, remittances, welfare payments, grants and subsidies.

AN ASSETS-BASED MODEL
FOR SUSTAINABILITY
The basic premise is that sustainable systems, whether farms, firms,
communities, or economies, accumulate stocks of these five assets, thereby
increasing the per capita endowments of all forms of capital over time. But
unsustainable systems deplete or run down these various forms, spending assets
as if they were income, and so leaving less for future generations.

AN ASSETS-BASED MODEL
FOR SUSTAINABILITY
The assets-based model shows how farms and rural livelihoods take
inputs of various types, including renewable assets, and transform these
to produce food and other desirable outputs.
These can be processed for home consumption, transformed through
value-added processes for sale, or sold directly as raw product.
The inputs are shown as:
1. Renewable natural capital – soil, water, air, biodiversity etc;
2. Social and participatory processes – including both locally
embedded and externally-induced social capital, and partnerships
and linkages between external organisations;
3. New technologies, knowledge and skills – both regenerative (eg
legumes, natural enemies) and non-renewable (eg hybrid seeds,
machinery);
4. Non-renewable or fossil-fuel derived inputs (eg fertilizers,
pesticides, antibiotics);
5. Finance – credit, remittances, income from sales and grants.
Availability and access to these five inputs is shaped by a wide range of
contextual factors (on the far left). These include unchanging ones (at
least over the short-term), such as climate, agro-ecology, soils, culture;
and dynamic economic, social, political and legal factors shaped by
external institutions and policies.
These contextual factors are an important entry point for shaping and
influencing agricultural systems (such as national policies, markets,
trade).

The Modernisation of Agriculture
The process of agricultural modernisation during the 20th century has produced
three distinct types of agriculture: industrialised, `Green Revolution’, and all that
remains - the pre-modern, `traditional’ or `unimproved'. The first two types have
been able to respond to modern technological packages, producing highly
productive systems of agriculture.

AN ASSETS-BASED MODEL
FOR SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainable Agriculture
A more sustainable farming seeks to make the best use of nature’s goods and
services whilst not damaging the environment. It does this by integrating natural
processes such as nutrient cycling, nitrogen fixation, soil regeneration and natural
enemies of pests into food production processes. It also minimises the use of nonrenewable inputs (pesticides and fertilizers) that damage the environment or harm
the health of farmers and consumers. It makes better use of the knowledge and
skills of farmers, so improving their self-reliance. And it seeks to make
productive use of social capital - people’s capacities to work together to solve
common management problems, such as pest, watershed, irrigation, forest and
credit management
