1. Monsanto Food Inc. is a public company operating in the agricultural sector. This company specializes in growing genetically modified crops. They create herbicides that kill weeds between crops and chemicals that allow crops to grow much larger than they would naturally. Fundamentally, their mission is to develop and research agriculture, to lead to economical, practical and sustainable solutions for farmers. Their work throughout the academic community as consultants and stakeholders aims to increase Monsanto's knowledge and understanding of crop-destroying corn rootworm (X). And through research they will be able to strengthen the resistance of these bacteria and benefit farmers across the county. Their motto is Food, Health, Hope; (X) which should convince the public of the values and corporate social responsibility this company believes in.3. It looks fantastic. (X) So why was Monsanto named one of the most unethical companies in the world?4. Most people would say that they would prefer to buy (X) organic food products rather than genetically modified foods (X). Organic foods are grown in a way that does not harm the environment in any way. They are much healthier than inorganic products as they contain little to no added chemicals. But it's easier to buy genetically modified products without even realizing it. Organic fruits and vegetables are more expensive and not as easy to find.5. The reason for this is that Monsanto owns over 95% of the seed patents worldwide (X). It is responsible for cultivating more than half of the world's total genetically modified organisms for each of these types of crops. Monsanto owns 91% of the world's GM soybeans, 97% of the corn, 64% of the cotton, and 59%... middle of paper...13. (X) RoundUp is a systemic herbicide used to kill broadleaf weeds known to interfere with commercial crops grown throughout the world. It was discovered by Monsanto chemist John E. Franz in 1970.14. It was then that Monsanto began what appears to be its war against humanity. By creating chemicals like Agent Orange for use in warfare. This chemical was one of the herbicides that the US Army sprayed over rural areas of Vietnam to kill trees, shrubs and crops over large areas. It remained toxic to humans for some weeks. And up to 30 years later, this is the result that was inflicted on the citizens of the exposed areas. The attacked forests will take centuries to recover. (XXXXXX)15. These incidents occurred more than 40 years ago and continue to have extremely negative effects on the company's brand.
