The World According to Monsanto: Pollution, Corruption, and the Control of the World's Food Supply by Author: Marie-Monique Robin

This book is about an American company named Monsanto, a firm of global agro Chemistry Company. This book tells an important story about Monsanto's control of the world's food. The destruction of ecosystems is of no importance to them only they want to bring products in the market neglecting its side effects. 

This book very nicely explains the genetically modified organisms (GMO'S), PCBs which were discovered by the company. Products that are used as coolants and lubricants are devastatingly harmful to human health and the food chain. Even the company was a major manufacture of Agent Orange, DDT, bovine growth hormones, Roundup, and transgenic crops like Roundup Ready soy, corn, cotton etc. The food it supplies causes cancer and infertility. The company Monsanto hides its research and earns profit at the cost of the suffering of victims and the destruction of ecosystems.

Once 'city beautification program' was sponsored by Monsanto. Volunteers recruited by the firm found themselves in Spontaneous Weed Attack Teams (SWAT) that patrolled the streets to kill weeds. The idea was to develop a phobia against weeds and to position Roundup as a socially responsible brand. Sustainable practices now a days give same results and produce the products in more environment friendly manner and healthier for the consumers to consume. The individual profit is only the motto of companies even if it leads to the death of people around them and surroundings. 

In Organic Farming Bio-agents like Blue green algae increases the fertility, Bio pesticides like neem leaves and turmeric, Biological methods of pest control proved useful and Healthy cropping systems like mixed cropping, intercropping and crop rotation can be used effectively to get better production. The farm waste is effectively recycled and crops are grown in an environment friendly manner.

We as the consumer have so much power to create awareness. We should know the impact of Genetically Modified foods in our surrounding, the quality of the food supply, side effects of different products and damage caused to the environment by these types of companies for the purpose of corporate profits.
