Ecosystem Analysis - Monsanto Seeds And Traitstecohen
The document summarizes Monsanto's corporate overview, strategy, products, and ecosystem services review. Monsanto is an international agricultural biotechnology firm that focuses on seeds and genomics. Their strategy includes technology agreements with farmers and acquisitions. Their products include genetically modified corn, cotton, and soybean seeds. An ecosystem services review identified genetic resources, climate change, and wild foods as top dependent services and identified applicable areas of regulation.
Monsanto is a major producer of genetically engineered seeds that are modified to resist herbicides and pests. However, Monsanto has also received criticism for how it patents its seeds and requires farmers to sign contracts. The article discusses how Monsanto controls a large portion of the market for crops like soybeans, corn, and cotton through its genetically modified seeds. Some issues raised are whether gene modification can truly solve food shortages and improve lives, and if food companies have an ethical obligation to label foods that are genetically modified.
This class action lawsuit alleges that several biotech companies acted irresponsibly and put profits before safety when introducing new genetically modified crops and accompanying herbicides. Specifically, Monsanto prematurely released dicamba-resistant cotton and soybean seeds despite warnings that this could damage nearby non-resistant crops if farmers illegally sprayed the herbicide dicamba. In 2015, some farmers did spray dicamba illegally over the dicamba-resistant crops as instructed by Monsanto representatives, resulting in damage to neighboring crops from herbicide drift. The lawsuit accuses the companies of ignoring risks and responsibilities in their rush to profit from the new seed traits and herbicide products.
- Giant agribusiness companies like Monsanto have spread genetically modified seeds to nearly half of all supermarket foods through lobbying and regulations that stifle organic farmers.
- These companies tightly control the global food supply through secret meetings and tactics that suppress research showing health risks of GMOs like infertility, tumors, and disease.
- Monsanto in particular dominates the seed industry and uses strong-arm tactics against farmers to force the use of their patented seeds.
This document summarizes controversies around patents on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and their impact. It discusses how Monsanto has patented genetically engineered corn, soybean, cotton, and canola. Monsanto also produces Roundup herbicide and crops resistant to it, leading to environmental and health concerns. Further controversy stems from Monsanto suing farmers for accidental contamination of crops with GMO pollen from neighboring fields. While Monsanto argues GMOs help feed the world, critics point to their environmental damage and potential health risks. The document outlines the spread of GMOs internationally through trade agreements and Monsanto's practices in India that have led to widespread farmer suicides.

This document summarizes concerns about the agricultural biotechnology corporation Monsanto. It discusses how Monsanto produces many pesticides and genetically engineered seeds used globally. It also details how a mother organized a "March Against Monsanto" to protest Monsanto's products and influence. The document then provides five reasons for concern about Monsanto: 1) Monsanto started as a chemical company responsible for damaging toxins and helped produce Agent Orange; 2) Monsanto is building a monopoly in seeds which puts farmers out of work; 3) Monsanto seeks to privatize and control water supplies; 4) Former Monsanto executives influence the FDA which is supposed to ensure food safety; 5) Monsanto has ongoing environmental impacts such as pollution and links to
This document discusses genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and the debate surrounding their use. It explores how genetic modification has been used to develop high-yield crops but relies heavily on pesticides and herbicides. Most biotech research is dominated by Monsanto, which has patented many GMO seeds, including "Roundup Ready" crops resistant to its herbicide Roundup. However, critics argue that patents increase costs for small farmers and could allow Monsanto to monopolize crop markets. The document also discusses concerns about monoculture farming and the loss of ancient crop varieties that may be better suited to different environments.

Genetically modified agriculture in our food chainKim
This document discusses genetically modified agriculture and its presence in the food chain. It begins by defining agricultural biotechnology and genetic engineering as techniques used to alter plant and animal genes. It then notes concerns about Monsanto's role as a large seed company and use of genetically modified organisms in seeds and pharmaceutical development. The document also relays reports from farmers of health issues in animals fed GM corn varieties and mysterious cow deaths in Germany linked to a GM corn variety. Toward the end, it suggests people may unknowingly consume GMOs through grocery store produce, meats and processed foods since labeling is not required in the US.
Prepared as a part of assignments for PBGG seminar @ UGA. Discusses misinformation regarding GMOs, backs up assertions with scientific evidences. Target audience: general public. Prepared and presented in 2013.
Bt corn provides built-in protection against devastating corn borers through a gene that produces a Bt protein toxic to the corn borer. It has been shown to increase yields by controlling the corn borer pest while being safe for human and animal consumption. To delay pest resistance, a resistance management strategy is important such as planting some non-Bt corn and integrated pest management. Future genetically enhanced crops hold promise to further increase world food production.
The document discusses several genetically engineered plants including Bt crops, Golden Rice, and Flavr Savr tomato. Bt crops contain a gene from Bacillus thuringiensis that produces a toxin harmful to certain insects, protecting the plant. Golden Rice was engineered to produce beta-carotene in the endosperm to address vitamin A deficiency. Flavr Savr tomato was modified using antisense RNA technology to reduce polygalactouronase levels and slow fruit softening for a longer shelf life.
Global status of genetically modified crops in ipm perspectiveShahanaz Honey
The document discusses genetically modified crops and their use in integrated pest management. It provides an overview of GM crop traits including insect resistance, herbicide tolerance, and stress tolerance. Bt cotton is discussed as an example of an insect resistant GM crop introduced in India. The document notes that using GM crops in an IPM context can help extend their efficacy against pests while reducing insecticide use and promoting natural pest control to manage resistance risks.
The document summarizes a study tour organized to expose participants to the commercialization of Bt cotton in Burkina Faso. The objectives of the tour were to expose participants to the responsible and safe use of Bt cotton technology, Burkina Faso's regulatory system, and the commercialization process. The tour involved visits to Bt cotton farms, workshops, and meetings with farmers and researchers. Farmers reported that Bt cotton yields were higher and required fewer pesticide applications than conventional cotton, improving profits and health. Researchers found Bt cotton benefited biodiversity, bees, and had no toxicity in feeding trials.
Farmers have filed class action lawsuits against Syngenta for introducing a genetically modified corn trait before it was approved in China, which has since rejected many US corn shipments. The lawsuits allege that Syngenta's actions crippled the US corn export market to China and lowered domestic corn prices, costing farmers over $1 billion in lost income and sales. The GMO corn was planted by some farmers but became mixed into other corn supplies, effectively contaminating much of the US corn crop that China will no longer accept.
Bacillus thuringiensis is a bacterium that produces proteins toxic to certain insects. The first Bt corn was registered with the EPA in 1995. Bt corn provides over 99% control of European corn borers through Cry proteins in plant tissues that form pores in the insect's gut, causing paralysis and death.
Genetically modified crops now represent 11% of the world's cultivated land, with the largest areas being in the Americas, India, and China. While GMOs promise benefits like increased yields and pest resistance, there are also concerns about their effects on biodiversity and the dominance of the market by a few large corporations who hold patents on GMO seeds. The cultivation and import of GMOs into the European Union remains a controversial issue with differing positions among member states.

2) Farmers' experiences with GM corn over a decade showed negative economic and health impacts, including increased debt, loss of land and traditional seeds, environmental damage, and various health issues.
3) People's organizations are advocating for banning GMOs and promoting sustainable agriculture instead, noting that GMOs have not increased farmers' productivity or incomes and pose risks to human and environmental health. They are calling on the government to terminate GMO field testing and recalls and to promote non-GMO farming.
The document discusses developing new fungicide active ingredients to address challenges in global food security. It describes Syngenta's fungicide discovery pipeline, including screening compounds for activity and determining their mode of action through techniques like haploinsufficiency assays.

Introduction
When you think of Monsanto, the phrase
genetically modified
likely comes to mind. The Monsanto Company is the world’s largest seed company, with sales of $13.5 billion. It specializes in biotechnology, or the genetic manipulation of organisms. Monsanto scientists have spent the last few decades modifying crops—often by inserting new genes or adapting existing genes within plant seeds—to meet certain aims, such as higher crop yields or insect resistance. Monsanto develops genetically engineered seeds of plants that can survive weeks of drought, ward off weeds, and kill invasive insects. Monsanto’s genetically modified (GM) seeds have increased the quantity and availability of crops, helping farmers worldwide increase food production and revenues.
Today, 90 percent of the world’s GM seeds are sold by Monsanto or companies that use Monsanto genes. Yet Monsanto has met its share of criticism from sources as diverse as governments, farmers, activists, and advocacy groups. Monsanto supporters say the company creates solutions to world hunger by generating higher crop yields and hardier plants. Critics accuse the multinational giant of attempting to take over the world’s food supply and destroying biodiversity. The announcement that Bayer AG is acquiring Monsanto for $66 billion has intensified these concerns because the acquisition would create a company that would command over one-fourth of the world’s seeds and pesticides market. Since biotechnology is relatively new, critics also express concerns about the possibility of negative health and environmental effects from biotech food. These criticisms have not kept Monsanto from becoming one of the world’s most successful businesses.
This analysis first looks at the history of Monsanto as it progressed from a chemical company to an organization focused on biotechnology. It then examines Monsanto’s current focus on developing GM seeds, including stakeholder concerns regarding the safety and environmental effects of these seeds. Next, we discuss key ethical concerns, including organizational misconduct and patent issues. We also look at Monsanto’s corporate responsibility initiatives. We conclude by examining the challenges and opportunities that Monsanto may face in the future.
History: From Chemicals to Food
Monsanto was founded by John E. Queeny in 1901 in St. Louis, Missouri. He named the company after his wife, Olga Monsanto Queeny. The company’s first product was the artificial sweetener saccharine, which it sold to Coca-Cola. Monsanto also sold Coca-Cola caffeine extract and vanillin, an artificial vanilla flavoring. At the start of World War I, company leaders realized the growth opportunities in the industrial chemicals industry and renamed the company The Monsanto Chemical Company.

Monsanto was founded by John F. Queeny in 1901 in St. Louis,
Missouri. He named the company after his wife, Olga Monsanto
Queeny. The company's first product was the artificial
sweetener saccharine, which it sold to Coca-Cola. Monsanto also
sold Coca-Cola caffeine extract and vanillin, an artificial vanilla
flavoring. At the start of World War I, company leaders realized
the growth opportunities in the industrial chemicals industry
and renamed the company The Monsanto Chemical Company.
The company began specializing in plastics, its own agricultural
chemicals, and synthetic rubbers.

1-1Introduction
When you think of Monsanto, the phrase genetically
modified likely comes to mind. The Monsanto Company is the
world's largest seed company, with sales of over $15.9 billion. It
specializes in biotechnology, or the genetic manipulation of
organisms. Monsanto scientists have spent the last few decades
modifying crops—often by inserting new genes or adapting
existing genes within plant seeds—to meet certain aims, such as
higher crop yields or insect resistance. Monsanto develops
genetically-engineered seeds of plants that can survive weeks of
drought, ward off weeds, and kill invasive insects. Monsanto's
genetically modified (GM) seeds have increased the quantity
and availability of crops, helping farmers worldwide increase
food production and revenues.
Today, 90 percent of the world's GM seeds are sold by Monsanto
or companies that use Monsanto genes. Monsanto also holds a
70 to 100 percent market share on certain crops. Yet Monsanto
has met its share of criticism from sources as diverse as
governments, farmers, activists, and advocacy groups.
Monsanto supporters say the company creates solutions to
world hunger by generating higher crop yields and hardier
plants. Critics accuse the multinational giant of attempting to
take over the world's food supply and destroying biodiversity.
Since biotechnology is relatively new, critics also express
concerns about the possibility of negative health and
environmental effects from biotech food. A Harris Poll shows
that Monsanto is considered to be the fourth most hated
company in the United States. However, these criticisms have
not kept Monsanto from becoming one of the world's most
successful businesses.
This analysis first looks at the history of Monsanto as it
progressed from a chemical company to an organization
focused on biotechnology. It then examines Monsanto's current
focus on developing GM seeds, including stakeholder concerns
regarding the safety and environmental effects of these seeds.
Next, we discuss key ethical concerns, including organizational
misconduct and patent issues. We also look at Monsanto's
corporate responsibility initiatives. We conclude by examining
the challenges and opportunities that Monsanto may face in the
future.

Introduction
When you think of Monsanto, the phrase genetically modified likely comes to mind. The Monsanto Company is the world’s largest seed company, with sales of $13.5 billion. It specializes in biotechnology, or the genetic manipulation of organisms. Monsanto scientists have spent the last few decades modifying crops—often by inserting new genes or adapting existing genes within plant seeds—to meet certain aims, such as higher crop yields or insect resistance. Monsanto develops genetically engineered seeds of plants that can survive weeks of drought, ward off weeds, and kill invasive insects. Monsanto’s genetically modified (GM) seeds have increased the quantity and availability of crops, helping farmers worldwide increase food production and revenues.
Today, 90 percent of the world’s GM seeds are sold by Monsanto or companies that use Monsanto genes. Yet Monsanto has met its share of criticism from sources as diverse as governments, farmers, activists, and advocacy groups. Monsanto supporters say the company creates solutions to world hunger by generating higher crop yields and hardier plants. Critics accuse the multinational giant of attempting to take over the world’s food supply and destroying biodiversity. The announcement that Bayer AG is acquiring Monsanto for $66 billion has intensified these concerns because the acquisition would create a company that would command over one-fourth of the world’s seeds and pesticides market. Since biotechnology is relatively new, critics also express concerns about the possibility of negative health and environmental effects from biotech food. These criticisms have not kept Monsanto from becoming one of the world’s most successful businesses.
This analysis first looks at the history of Monsanto as it progressed from a chemical company to an organization focused on biotechnology. It then examines Monsanto’s current focus on developing GM seeds, including stakeholder concerns regarding the safety and environmental effects of these seeds. N.
Using data analysis to provide possible solutions for Monsanto's business issue from 2005 to 2008, all contents from the case study: Monsanto Balances the Interests of Multiple Stakeholders
This document discusses a legal case brought by Biowatch South Africa regarding access to information on genetically modified crops. Biowatch appealed a costs order against it for bringing the case. The document provides background on the players involved, including Biowatch, Monsanto, and government departments. It outlines the timeline of the case moving through various South African courts. The key issue was that organizations acting in the public interest should be able to litigate without fear of large costs orders being made against them if they do not succeed in their claims.
The document discusses the debate around genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in agriculture. It notes that while scientists argue GMOs could help address issues like climate change, land use, and poverty, many members of the public remain unconvinced of their safety and value. The rapid adoption of GMO crops by farmers is also examined. Specific concerns raised include the control Monsanto has over global seed supply, increased pesticide and herbicide use, risks of genetic pollution, impacts on small farmers, and lack of GMO labeling. Overall, the document advocates that more independent research is still needed on the impacts of GMOs.
MGMT 350 Coppin State University Monsanto A Growing Controversy Discussion.docx4934bk
This document provides an overview of Monsanto's history and operations. It discusses how Monsanto transitioned from a chemical company to focusing on biotechnology and genetically modified seeds. It outlines Monsanto's role as the world's largest seed company and describes both support for and criticism of its genetically modified products. The document also examines Monsanto's corporate responsibility initiatives and the challenges it may face in the future regarding its biotechnology business.
The document discusses genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and provides several key facts and figures:
1) Only four countries - the United States, Argentina, Canada, and China - grow almost 90% of the world's GM crops. The vast majority of other countries grow no GMOs.
2) Only four main crops - soy, maize, cotton, and oil-seed rape - make up over 99% of GMOs grown, with herbicide tolerance and insect resistance being the dominant traits.
3) Critics are concerned that genetic engineering may have unintended health and environmental impacts, as it allows for novel genetic combinations not possible through natural breeding.

Quotes are provided from scientists, farmers, and organizations on both sides of the GMO debate.
Ethical Issues in the Use of Terminator Seed Technology
This is a research article summarized in simple words.
It's done as a part of the Genetics assignment.
Here the mechanism of terminator seed technology is explained along with diagram.
This document discusses GMOs, related litigation and insurance issues. It provides examples of over 30 existing GMO crops and organisms. Recent headlines include increased herbicide/pesticide use with GMOs and lawsuits finding Monsanto liable for poisoning farmers. The document outlines two categories of GMO litigation - business losses from contamination and product liability for health issues. It also discusses two legal theories - that the GMO product or related herbicides can be found liable. The insurance implications of GMO contamination claims are examined under commercial general liability policies. Recent court cases addressing these issues are also summarized.
This document is a class action complaint filed against Monsanto Company, BASF Corporation, E.I. DuPont De Nemours and Company, and other defendants. The plaintiffs, several farming partnerships and individuals, allege that the defendants prematurely commercialized new dicamba-resistant seed traits without the necessary herbicide formulations approved, causing damage to neighboring non-dicamba resistant crops from dicamba drift. They claim the defendants prioritized profits over responsibility despite warnings about the risks of premature release. The complaint provides background on the technology and details allegations that Monsanto encouraged illegal dicamba applications to the new seed in 2015 before EPA approvals.

This document discusses applying Geert Hofstede's model of national culture to analyze and localize Missouri University of Science and Technology's international student recruitment video. It first provides an overview of Hofstede's six dimensions of national culture and his definitions. It then analyzes how the original recruitment video reflects American culture based on Hofstede's model. Finally, it proposes ways to localize the video for South Korea and China by modifying elements to better align with those countries' cultural dimensions as defined by Hofstede, such as emphasizing community and long-term impact more for South Korea and collective achievements and influence for China.
This document proposes a research project to analyze cultural differences between American and Korean academic institutions' social media content. The goal is to suggest ways for American institutions to localize their social media content for Korean audiences. The research will include a literature review, surveys of Korean students, interviews with social media representatives, and analysis of social media content from selected institutions in both countries. The total budget is $3,320 and the project is expected to be completed over 16 months, with the final thesis submitted in April 2017. Funding may come from the CPTSC or ABC.
This document proposes establishing a usability testing laboratory at Missouri University of Science and Technology. It would benefit students by providing hands-on experiential learning, the Technical Communication program by attracting more students and promoting growth, and Missouri S&T and local businesses by offering usability testing services. There is currently no usability lab, but growing technologies require more user testing. A lab would allow 200+ students annually to test websites, apps, and more in a professional environment. It could also generate research projects and funding for the program.

We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address

8. Key terms regarding Monsanto’s business
A genetically modified organism (GMO)
= genetically engineered organism (GEO)
• An organism whose genetic material has been altered using
genetic engineering techniques.
• Recombinant DNA technology: use DNA molecules from diff
erent sources, which are combined into one molecule to cr
eate a new set of genes. This DNA is then transferred into a
n organism, giving it modified or novel genes.
9. Key terms regarding Monsanto’s business
Roundup
• Herbicide Glyphosate that is used to kill weeds without kill
ing plants that farmers grow
• Discovered by Monsanto chemist John E. Franz in 1970
• Most used herbicide in the U.S. agriculture sector with 180
-185 million pounds applied (2007)
• With its heavy use in agriculture, weed resistance to
glyphosate is a growing problem
• Concerns about their effects on humans and the
environment persist
10. Key terms regarding Monsanto’s business
Roundup Ready
• Crops that have been genetically engineered to be
resistant to glyphosate.
• Allow farmers to use glyphosate as a post-emergence
herbicide against both broadleaf and cereal weeds, but
the development of similar resistance in some weed
species is emerging as a costly problem
• Soy was the first "Roundup Ready" crop.
14. 1. When farmers purchase a patented seed variety, they
sign an agreement that they will not save and replant
seeds produced from the seed they buy from Monsanto.
2. Sometimes Monsanto resort lawsuits when they find
violation. 145 lawsuits filed since 1997 in the United
States. To date, only 9 cases have gone through full trial.
In every one of these instances, the jury or court decided
in our favor.
Patent Management
15. • They possessed a threat to a family farm where
Monsanto’s Roundup Ready soybeans were growing by
wind drift
• ‘Farmers’ they mean is ‘Farmers who are their customer’
, not general farmers
