Monsanto was one of four groups to introduce genes into plants, and was among the first to conduct field trials of genetically modified crops. Monsanto was one of the first companies to apply the biotechnology industry business model to agriculture, using techniques developed by biotech drug companies.

Monsanto's roles in agricultural changes, biotechnology products and lobbying of government agencies and roots as a chemical company have surrounded the company in controversies. The company once manufactured controversial products such as the insecticide DDT, PCBs, Agent Orange and recombinant bovine growth hormone. Its seed patenting model was criticized as biopiracy and a threat to biodiversity.

In September 2016 Monsanto agreed to accept Bayer's offer to purchase the company for $66 billion, pending regulatory approval.

It's crazy how important WW2 is for the historic growth of major companies.

Lmaooo I got a Monsanto ad for this video

I’ve lived in St. Louis my entire life and we definitely have a dark history of chemical production. These companies would take advantage of people who needed jobs to support their families. They knew they were exposing their workers to caustic chemicals. The government even conducted top secret tests by spraying radioactive zinc cadmium sulfide all over bystanders in low income/minority neighborhoods. Not to mention illegal dumping of radioactive waste in cold water creek. The St. Louis metropolitan area is an ecological nightmare. I actually work in the former DOW chemical building where they’d process uranium metal rod for the Manhattan project. The EPA claims everything is safe but i find it very hard to believe. I’ve heard rumors that they still test pigeon feces in the building to monitor radiation levels. Needless to say, I’ll probably end up with some kind of bizarre

"monsantos products are inGRAINED in our society"

It's hilarious how they used a picture of a tanker dropping repellent (that is used to fight wildfires) on field full of crops, making it look like they're dropping a bunch of chemicals on crops

Why did he name the company after his wife?

Monsanto may have a bad track record, but it contributes a lot to modern agriculture.

[Mavish]

We dont even need GMOs if we would all just lower our meat intake. We have more than enough land to grow our food. But no, instead we're growing feed for animals.

[DrDuckMD]

Just another example of “if you have enough power and money you can never be brought down.”

My 13 yr old brother recently decided he wants to eat “healthy” he started eating salad and is so concerned on benefits of food not realizing the fruit he’s eating is seedless, the food he’s eating is processed with preservatives not knowing pretty much everything in America is gmo and it’s sad really. Thinking he’s eating super healthy when really it’s all a front.

Monsanto translated means MY SATAN. Need i say more.

[cuthbertjolly]

The success of a company like Monsanto is natural under capitalism.

Imagine having corn in coke. We have sugar in coke.

My Dad was a PHD at NCSU. He did research most of his life. He had nothing good to say about Monsanto. Every time he said the word, he would hiss it. I got the impression from him that Monsanto was run by the Devil. Anything for buck right?

[christian_swjy]

This is like the evilest of evil company i've ever heard of

Monsanto - Poisoning the world for over 100 years.
