| dc.description.abstract | Development of Bt cotton. Muhammad Herman. Bt cotton has been grown on over four million hectares by millions of farmers in nine countries including Indonesia since its introduction in 1996. Indonesian farmers in seven districts of South Sulawesi Province have grown Bt cotton at about four to five thousand hectares since 2001. The utilization of Bt cctton in Indonesia is regulated by the Joint Decree of Minister of Agriculture, Minister of Forestry and Estate Crops, Minister of Health, and the State Minister of Food and Horticulture 1999No. 998.1/Kpts/OT. 210/9/99; 790a/Kpts-IX/1 999; 1145A/MENKES/SKB/IX/199; 015A/NmenegPHOR/09/1999 concerning Biosafety and Food Safety of Genetically Engineered Agricultural Products, and the Decree of Minister of Agriculture 1998 concerning Testing, Evaluation, and Variety Release. The fact that farmers continue to embrace transgenic crops varieties such as Bt cotton provides ample evidence that they have been beneficial to the farm. Bt cotton provides significant multiple benefits such as economic advantages to the farmers, reduce use of broad spectrum insecticides, reduce of farmers' toxicity due to exposure of insecticides. In addition to the fact that the over whelming majority of scientists, as well as every major scientific organization that has evaluated the safety of transgenic crops including Bt cotton, find them to be as safe as or safer than conventional crops, provides ample evidence that health and environmental issues have been adequately addressed. | en_US |
