The World According to Monsanto: Pollution, Corruption, and the Control of Our Food Supply

An investigation of the massive agribusiness company, from a winner of the Rachel Carson Prize: â€œWell supported by wide-ranging scientific evidence.â€ â€”Kirkus Reviews
Â
The result of a remarkable three-year-long investigation that took award-winning journalist and documentary filmmaker Marie-Monique Robin across four continents, The World According to MonsantoÂ tells the little-known yet shocking story of this agribusiness giantâ€”the worldâ€™s leading producer of GMOs (genetically modified organisms)â€”and how its new â€œgreenâ€ face is no less malign than its PCB- and Agent Orangeâ€“soaked past.
Â
Robin reports that, following its long history of manufacturing hazardous chemicals and lethal herbicides, Monsanto is now marketing itself as a â€œlife sciencesâ€ company, seemingly convinced about the virtues of sustainable development. However, Monsanto now controls the majority of the yield of the worldâ€™s genetically modified corn and soyâ€”ingredients found in more than 95 percent of American householdsâ€”and its alarming legal and political tactics to maintain this monopoly are the subject of worldwide concern.
Â
Released alongside the documentary film of the same name,Â The World According to MonsantoÂ is sure to change the way we think about food safety and the corporate control of our food supply.
