Monsanto

Monsanto was a leading American agrochemical and agricultural biotechnology corporation, founded in 1901 and known for its production of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and herbicides, particularly the controversial glyphosate-based herbicide, Roundup. The company gained significant attention and faced numerous legal challenges regarding health claims linking its products to cancer, culminating in its acquisition by Bayer AG in 2018 for $63 billion.
