Monsato (Monsanto)

Monsanto was a major agricultural company known for developing and selling genetically modified (GM) seeds and related chemicals, such as herbicides like glyphosate. Its innovations aimed to improve crop yields and resistance to pests, helping farmers produce more food efficiently. Founded in 1901, Monsanto became a global leader in biotech agriculture before being acquired by Bayer in 2018. The company was often controversial due to debates over GMO safety, environmental impact, and corporate practices, making it a prominent and sometimes polarizing figure in modern agriculture.
