Monsanto's document discusses their biotechnology pipeline and commitment to safety. It provides an overview of Monsanto's technology development activities, R&D strategies for driving innovation, and the expansion of agricultural biotech traits globally. Charts show growing adoption of traits like Roundup Ready corn and YieldGard Rootworm corn by US farmers due to superior performance and cost benefits over insecticide treatments.
