What exactly is Monsanto
Monsanto is a major global corporation that produces biotechnology and agricultural chemicals. The company is best known for its patented seeds and chemicals that help farmers increase crop yields and lower pesticide use.

There have been documentaries made about Monsanto. Here is one, “The World According to Monsanto.” The World According to Monsanto is a 2008 film directed by Marie-Monique Robin. Originally released in French as Le monde selon Monsanto, the film is based on Robin’s three-year long investigation into the corporate practices around the world of the United States multinational corporation, Monsanto.
