They control nearly 70 of seed market share. ]]> 2021-10-25 23:02:51 UTC https://padlet.com/tylerbennett1/q0id8j4yvbgwzlb3/wish/1843177573 tylerbennett1 https://padlet.com/tylerbennett1/q0id8j4yvbgwzlb3/wish/1846320200 Monsanto led many of the breeding and GM projects mentioned in class. Monsanto acquired a terrible reputation because 1) of their hostile business practices, especially towards producers in defense of their intellectual property rights, 2) because products like RoundUp weren't regulated carefully enough, and 3) because of fears about stewardship and safety of GMOs. 

Bayer CropScience, the agricultural division of the German pharmaceutical giant, purchased Monsanto in 2018. Does that mean Bayer is the new bad-faith player? Bayer has a far better reputation, but you should know that it includes Monsanto. 

BASF, another ag sciences giant, also purchased many of Bayer's breeding and GM projects in 2018. ]]> 2021-10-26 21:25:41 UTC https://padlet.com/tylerbennett1/q0id8j4yvbgwzlb3/wish/1846320200
