ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT <strong>Monsanto</strong> <strong>Technical</strong> publications <strong>Monsanto</strong> has pledged to share safety and benefits information related to our products with the scientific community and the public. This report is intended to highlight the important role that <strong>Monsanto</strong> scientists play in contributing to the extensive and expanding body of knowledge surrounding agricultural biotechnology. Our research covers a range of topics from early research and development to product safety and impacts. Plant biotechnology products are more extensively studied than any other plant products, which provide equal or greater assurance of the safety of these products compared to conventional plant varieties. Our hope is that the growing knowledge base will help to substantiate and reinforce the safety and important human, animal, and environmental benefits of biotech crops.

GENERAL <strong>Monsanto</strong> scientists are active researchers and share the same commitment to publish original research data and scholarly reviews as their colleagues in public universities and institutions. <strong>Monsanto</strong> researchers collaborate with leading experts in the public arena to expand the scientific knowledge base. Often these public-private partnerships produce pioneering science and data that lays the foundation for more in-depth discovery and exploration by the broader scientific community. Above all, <strong>Monsanto</strong> scientists feel a responsibility to publish the supporting data and other information that support the safety and benefits of <strong>Monsanto</strong> products. Topics in this section include: • the benefits and safety of <strong>Monsanto</strong> products • enhancing global food security and nutrition • product sustainability • regulatory considerations and safety assessments References • • • • • • • • • • • 2004.
