The World According To Monsanto

The result of a three-year-long investigation across four continents, this book tells the sobering story of this “life sciences” giant – the world’s leading producer of GMOs (genetically modified organisms) – and how its new “green” face is no less malign than its PCB- and Agent Orange-soaked past. Monsanto now presents itself as pursuing the worthy goal of feeding the world. But the agribusiness giant’s control of the world’s supply of genetically modified corn and soy (ingredients found in 95% of US households), and its legal and political tactics in maintaining this monopoly, are justifiably the subject of worldwide outrage.
