needs a new technological breakthrough after the Green Revolution. He believes that biotechnology seems to be a
promising one since it has been well adopted in Argentina, where
many of its food is developed through genetic modification (GM)
technologyFurthermore he added the Indonesian government fully supported plant biotechnology or genetic engineering (Genetically Modified Organisms) to be developed in Indonesia to meet domestic food needs, since approximately 80-90 percent of Indonesian soybean are GMOs.
Some 100 participants composed of scientists, members of the food industry and students were updated on ‘Biotechnology in the Food Industry.
