"Winner, 2009, for contributing to focus on one of the most important environmental threats of our time; how genetically altered seed grains threaten the balance of nature."
- Rachel Carson Prize
"As this powerful book makes clear, Monsanto's innovations create more problems than they solve - above all by helping to concentrate the food system in every fewer hands, with baleful consequences for the world's small-scale farmers. It is the kind of reporting we need more of, and one hopes it will be at least a partial antidote to all the sleek commercials with smiling peasants."
- Bill McKibben, author of Eaarth: Making A Life On A Tough New Planet
"We are what we eat, and what we eat is rapidly being determined by one company, Monsanto. Monsanto's seed and food dictatorship is based on corrupting regulatory processes, corrupting science, and destroying democracy. We needed a book that told us the story in detail, with courage - The World According to Monsanto does just that."
- Vandana Shiva
"Not glamorous, and not a cookbook, but arguably the most important big-picture food book this year ... Riveting, scary stuff."
- John Lethlean and Necia Wilden, The Australian

The World According to Monsanto
Pollution, Politics and Power

The result of a remarkable three-year-long investigation that took award-winning journalist and documentary filmmaker Marie-Monique Robin across four continents, The World According to Monsanto tells the little-known yet shocking story of this agribusiness giant - the world’s leading producer of GMOs (genetically modified organisms) - its new and dubious 'green' face and its problematic PCB- and Agent Orange-soaked past.

Robin reports that, following its long history of manufacturing hazardous chemicals and lethal herbicides, Monsanto is now marketing itself as a 'life sciences' company, seemingly convinced about the virtues of sustainable development. However, Monsanto now controls the majority of the yield of the world’s genetically modified corn and soy - ingredients found in a high percentage of households - and its legal and political tactics to maintain this monopoly are the subject of worldwide concern.

Released to great acclaim and controversy in France, throughout Europe, and in Latin America, alongside the documentary film of the same name, The World According to Monsanto is sure to change the way we think about food safety and our food supply.

155 x 235, 372 pages, paperback.
