IEstablished in forty-six countries, Monsanto has become the world leader in GMOs, but also one of the most controversial companies in industrial history, with the production of PCBs (pyralene), devastating herbicides (such as the orange during the Vietnam War) or bovine and dairy growth hormones (banned in Europe). Since its creation in 1901, the firm has accumulated lawsuits because of the toxicity of its products, but today presents itself as a “life sciences” company, converted to the virtues of sustainable development. Through the commercialization of transgenic seeds, it claims to want to push back the limits of ecosystems for the good of humanity. What is it exactly? What are the objectives of this company, which, after having long neglected the ecological and human impacts of its activities, is suddenly interested in the problem of hunger in the world to the point of giving itself the air of a humanitarian organization? Based on unpublished documents, testimonies of victims, scientists or politicians, the book reconstructs the genesis of an industrial empire, which, with the help of false reports, of collusion with the North American administration , pressure and attempts at corruption, has become the world's leading seed company. In particular, it reveals the role played by Monsanto in the formidable sleight of hand which allowed the planetary extension of GMO crops without any serious control of their effects on nature and human health.
