This is the definitive history of Monsanto, a St. Louis chemical
firm that became the world's largest genetically engineered seed
enterprise. Monsanto merged with German pharma-biotech giant Bayer
in 2018 but its Roundup Ready seeds, introduced twenty-five years
ago, are still reshaping the farms that feed us. Incorporating
global fieldwork, interviews with company employees, and untapped
corporate and government records, award-winning historian Bartow J.
Elmore traces Monsanto's astounding evolution from a scrappy
chemical startup to a global agrobusiness powerhouse. Capitalising
on deals with customers like Coca-Cola, General Electric and
especially the US government, Monsanto used seed money derived from
toxic products-including PCBs and Agent Orange-to build an
agricultural empire, promising endless bounty through its
genetically engineered technology. As new data emerges about its
blockbuster Roundup system, and as Bayer faces a tide of lawsuits
over Monsanto products past and present, Elmore's urgent history
takes a penetrating look at the company's past.
