Inside the Greenhouses of Monsanto
ST LOUIS, MISSOURI, MAY 2009: Images of advanced seed chipping machines and their technicans inside Monsanto agribusiness headquarters in St Louis, Missouri, 21 May 2009. Monsanto is at the forefront of biotechnology in the agribusiness sector. These machines are designed and built inhouse and they allow the technicans to chip off a tiny portion of thousands of seeds daily. These chips are scanned instantly for the perfect DNA of an elite corn seed and then those seeds that make the grade are forwarded to the next stage of the selection process. Monsanto is a controversial global corporate with a history of strong litigation against those it assumes are interfering with its stringent patent laws. This practise as well as its advanced genetically modified technology approach in the agricultural sector have led many to be suspicious of Monsanto and the ultimate good of GM foods. Monsanto argues back that sufficent food production for the future is simply not possible without adequate GM technology in agriculture. (Photograph by Brent Stirton/Getty Images.)
