PART III Conclusions and Recommendations
|
From page 87... ...
panelists to meet with their Indonesian colleagues undertaking research in the four areas of biotechnology that were considered by this workshop: embryo transfer and animal production, plant cell and tissue culture, plant nitrogen fixation, and bioconversion of agricultural by-products. In general, the NRC panel found these individuals to be highly motivated, industrious, tenacious, and, within the limits of their training, very capable.

2. Given the relative lack of equipment, laboratory space, and operating capital in the areas the team visited, the panel strongly suggests establishing incentives for collaboration among laboratories to solve common problems.
|
From page 89... ...
- 89 A task force should be established to initiate a grants program through the Indonesian National Research Council and to solicit monies such as PL 480 funds for research and collaboration in Indonesia.
|
From page 90... ...
3. Establish by the end of calendar year 1986 an embryo transfer and animal production working group consisting of relevant disciplines.
|
From page 91... ...
4. Hold meetings of the Indonesian plant cell and tissue culture working group at least once each year to review research results, establish new objectives in this area, and review manpower needs.
|
From page 92... ...
7. Emphasize those areas of plant nitrogen fixation that would have an immediate impact.
|

cooperation in biological nitrogen fixation through joint cooperative research which could be of mutual benefit and executed in either the United States or Indonesia. This cooperation would involve scientists from both countries, as well as the assistance of U.S.

The steering committee is fully aware of the long road ahead before Indonesia can make optimal use of the newly discovered methods of biotechnology engineering. It is therefore our sincere hope that this workshop makes a significant contribution to speeding up biotechnological development in Indonesia by suggesting concrete and feasible recommendations for actions.

From page 101... ...
The effects of the green revolution, which relied on the traditional plant breeding techniques, were largely achieved by the mid-1970s. Over the past 10 years, there have been additional attempts to apply the agricultural practices built around high-yielding varieties in the small holder sector.
|
From page 102... ...
Transnational pharmaceutical and chemical companies, genetic research firms, and university laboratories are pursuing the development of bioengineered plant crop varieties across the spectrum of world crops. Research presently under way in the following areas has direct relevance to Indonesia: varietal improvement; achievement of nitrogen fixation in nonleguminous crops; enhancement of photosynthetic activity; manipulation of growth regulators; improved stress tolerance to drought, salinity, acidity, and other soil conditions; and pest and pathogen resistance.

From page 103... ...
Third, there is a question of the proper role of the Indonesian public sector -- namely, the agricultural research community -- in biotechnological research. Many institutions are involved: BPPT [Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology]

National Research Council and the Indonesian Institute of Sciences, an important milestone in this long-standing scientific relationship. The findings of that workshop played an important role as a source of reference in the formulation of a food policy for Indonesia's first five-year development plan (REPELITA I, 1969-1974)

National Research Council. These panel discussions produced important recommendations on biotechnology and agro-industry which should be considered by this workshop as a baseline in formulating realistic development strategies in view of the current prevailing economic climate of the country.
|
From page 106... ...
The recommendation made at the above-mentioned 1982 panel discussions regarding manpower training, the establishment of a Crop/Agro-biotechnology Industrial Center (CABIC) , and a food resource development plan should be stressed further.

From page 107... ...
National Research Council, the Office of the Minister of State for Research and Technology, the Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology, the steering and the organizing committees, and all those who made this workshop possible. I would also like to thank the speakers, the session's chairpeople, and the participants for taking part in this workshop.
