Monsanto Web Site, June 2010 Two Years In...Where Are We?
June 8, 2010 By R. Johnson
Fewer available resources, more mouths to feed, a greater demand for fiber, fuel and feed—
two years ago Monsanto announced its response to the daunting challenges facing
agriculture. On June 4, 2008, we publicly committed to working alongside farmers to
produce more (double yields), conserve more (reduce inputs by one-third per unit of output),
and improve lives between 2000 and 2030.
“Monsanto is a sustainable agriculture company -- it's who we are,” Jerry Steiner, corporate
affairs and sustainability lead, said. “Sustainable agriculture involves better breeding, better
biotech, and better agronomics. All three are needed to meet the world's needs, and we feel
we have a lot to contribute. It is what we can do as a part of the bigger picture of meeting
agriculture’s challenges.”
