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. Capitalizing 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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a Monsanto Company. 650 0 $a Agricultural chemicals industry $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Seed industry and trade $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Plant biotechnology industry $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Transgenic plants $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Agriculture $z United States $x History. 941 $a 16 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611012015.0 952 $l FGPD194 $d 20240515012223.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240502014219.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409041308.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314023012.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010025800.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20221025011525.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804024154.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630014749.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20220510010751.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20220201014857.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20211130012254.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20211102020742.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20211102010713.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20211021010901.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20211013010106.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DAC6C92C2BEA11ECAE902C522AECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
