SEED MONEY - MONSANTOS PAST AND OUR FOOD FUTURE...

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.
