Abstract

This research evaluates the socioeconomic impact of implementing biotechnology-based sustainable farming practices in Indonesian ports. The study focuses on crop yields, income levels, consumer food prices, and environmental sustainability. Results show a significant increase in crop yields, leading to improved income levels for local farmers. Consumer food prices have stabilized, ensuring better food access for communities. Moreover, environmental sustainability has improved, with reduced pollution and efficient resource use. These findings highlight the potential of sustainable farming practices to address key challenges faced by port cities, including food security, poverty alleviation, and environmental degradation. The research recommends scaling up these practices and integrating them into policy frameworks to promote sustainable agriculture and economic development in Indonesian ports.
