The World According to Monsanto: Pollution, Corruption, and the Control of the World’s Food Supply by Marie-Monique Robin (Author). The results of a outstanding three-year-long investigation that took award-winning journalist and documentary filmmaker Marie-Monique Robin throughout 4 continents (North and South America, Europe, and Asia), The World In response to Monsanto tells the little-recognized but surprising story of this agribusiness large–the world’s main producer of GMOs (genetically modified organisms) –and the way its new “green” face is no much less malign than its PCB- and Agent Orange-soaked past.
Robin studies that, following its long history of producing hazardous chemicals and deadly herbicides, Monsanto is now marketing itself as a “life sciences” company, seemingly convinced concerning the virtues of sustainable development. However, Monsanto now controls nearly all of the yield of the world’s genetically modified corn and soy–components discovered in additional than ninety five p.c of American households–and its alarming legal and political tactics to maintain this monopoly are the topic of worldwide concern.
Released to great acclaim and controversy in France, throughout Europe, and in Latin America alongside the documentary movie of the identical name, The World Based on Monsanto is sure to alter the way in which we think about meals safety and the corporate control of our meals supply.
This e book tells a tremendous and extremely troubling true story of company greed. It tells the story of Monsanto and does it with a serious rigor that refutes any try that might be made to dismiss it. Copious footnotes and end-notes support and document the text.
One would possibly suppose that with all of the issues that Monsanto has accomplished that has knowingly broken the health of humans and animals in the pursuit of revenue that they’d have been put out of enterprise by now because of legal and civil penalties. One would possibly think that that they had invented Teflon (DuPont did) given how they’ve gotten away with the damage they’ve caused.
I hope the material in this guide will get a wider viewers than it has and has an applicable impact. Our well being is dependent upon it!
This is a wonderful example of investigative journalism tackling a complex subject. All of us profit (your well being and mine) from work like this. Well written, very instructional and highly really useful!
This guide was very alarming and informative. Anyone who eats on this nation ought to read this book and then get involved within the battle for transparency, labeling and testing of the GMO food we unwittingly eat every day.
