After a relentless three-year investigation carried out in North and South America, Europe and Asia, 'The World According to Monsanto' reveals the chilling hegemonic project of Monsanto, which threatens not only the food safety of the world but also the ecological balance of planet. The latest film from acclaimed documentarian Marie-Monique Robin is a devastating survey of American multinational Monsanto, world leader in biotechnology and one of the most controversial companies of the industrial age. 90% of the genetically modified organisms (GMO) cultivated today on planet, such as soya, colza, corn, cotton..., all belong to Monsanto and, in the long term, it is the whole food chain which Monsanto is bringing under its control.

<I>Non-GM breakthroughs keep coming thick and fast for problems that GM proponents claim require GM, but GM solutions, if any, are years away.</I>
Does the mention of allergen-free peanut, salt-resistant wheat, beta-carotene rich sweet potato, and virus-resistant cassava make you think of GM? If so, you’ve missed the great unpublished story of 2007 – all the non-GM answers to precisely the problems (drought-resistance, salt-resistance, biofortification, etc.) that proponents claim only GM can solve.
While GM ‘miracle’ stories win vast amounts of column inches in the popular media, the non-GM stories are seldom reported. Without the GM lobby’s exaggerated crisis narratives and silver bullet solutions, it seems there is no story. The biotech industry and its PR people, of course, are keen to keep it that way; particularly as the non-GM solutions are often way ahead of the work on GM. They also bring with them none of the uncertainties over environmental and health hazards that surround GM.
Thanks to the lack of success of GM ‘solutions’, non-GM success stories can end up being claimed as GM breakthroughs. This happened most recently when the UK government’s retiring chief scientist, David King, claimed an important non-GM breakthrough in Africa as evidence of why we need to embrace GM . This tells us why we need to stop being distracted by GM and support the non-GM solutions to crop production problems.
