Monsanto is committed to bringing a broad range of agricultural solutions to help nourish our growing world. We believe a balanced meal should be within reach for everyone. We help contribute to that balanced meal by providing farmers with seeds that grow some of the food you find on your plate including vegetables, melons and grains. Protein is also important to a balanced diet. We provide seeds for key crops such as corn, soybeans, and cotton – that, when harvested, contribute to the diet of cows, pigs and chickens. In addition to seeds that help farmers have better harvests while using water and other important resources more efficiently, we also work to find sustainable solutions for soil health; help farmers use data to improve farming practices and conserve natural resources; and provide crop protection products to minimize damage from pests and disease. Through programs and partnerships, we collaborate with farmers, researchers, nonprofit organizations, universities and others to help tackle some of the world’s biggest challenges.
