IV. Company Introduction

Monsanto is a Fortune 500 multinational agrochemical and biotechnology company with a focus on creating sustainable farming solutions through technological and scientific research and development. Monsanto’s customer base is composed of large and small scale farmers, agricultural companies, landscaping companies and individual consumers, who purchase an array of pesticides and herbicides. Monsanto and Bayer, a chemical and pharmaceutical company, recently announced a merger to integrate superior agricultural solutions and innovation. Bayer will be acquiring Monsanto.

In recent years Monsato has been involved negative controversies over its extensive applications of genetically modified organisms (GMO’s) and has experienced aggressive reaction by concerned citizens, non-profit organizations supporting organic agriculture, the media, government entities and the general public. Three problems currently faced by Monsanto are negative publicity, increasing concern over the use of chemicals and GMO’s, global warming, promoting reckless use of pesticides, health and environmental implications with the use of herbicides, and falling short on promoting agricultural sustainability equally across the globe to reduce world hunger.
