Biotech Advisory Council

Biotech Advisory Council Shares Important Perspectives
Monsanto's Biotech Advisory Council was formed in 2001 to help us better understand how our decisions were affecting people around the world. In the early days, the council reviewed recent activities and provided feedback. As the council and Monsanto developed a stronger working relationship, the focus shifted from the past to the future and how best to apply our expertise and resources to meet the challenges ahead.

Recent topics included important products in our research pipeline, which led to our commitment to share drought tolerance technology in Africa. Discussions about human rights were considered in Monsanto's human rights policy. As more countries approve biotech products, we continue to discuss evolving public expectations.
