In March 2008, French journalist Marie-Monique Robin released the results of her three years of research worldwide into Monsanto. A book was published by La Découverte, a French editor, and a video documentary, Le Monde selon Monsanto (The World according to Monsanto), was released on DVD and shown on Arte, the Franco-German culture tv-channel.[108][109]
It reveals numerous controversial facts about Monsanto. Marie-Monique Robin traveled the world to meet scientists and political figures in order to investigate the consequences of several Monsanto products. Those interviewed include Shiv Chopra, a Canadian researcher who was fired by Health Canada for revealing an attempted bribe by Monsanto regarding the attempted introduction of Bovine Growth Hormone into Canada. The author of the research met several independent scientists around the world who tried to warn the political authorities about the use of GM seeds. According to the journalist, most of these scientists actually lost their jobs as a consequence of their speaking out. The "revolving door syndrome" is also pointed out in the research as a threat to the quality and independence of the scientific conclusions about the effects of Monsanto products, especially the Food and Drug Administration.
Robin travels to India, Mexico, Argentina and Paraguay to see how Monsanto's genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have affected local farmers using it for their crops. Suicide rates of farmers in India have increased as farmers are finding it harder to earn a living using more expensive Monsanto seeds that despite claims still require specific pesticide and fertilizer. Mexico having banned GMOs is trying to limit contamination and crossbreeding from subsidized U.S. GMO corn imported in via North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) for eating. Argentinian farmers are giving up farming and moving to urban slums because they cannot compete with GM crops and are finding their farms, livestock, and children being negatively affected by pesticide runoff. Paraguay was forced to accept GMO crops as it was being anonymously imported and grown en masse, not allowing its export would have negatively impacted the economy. In all cases genetic variation is reduced as a result of monocropping and ownership is increasingly concentrated.
At the end, Monsanto declines to participate in the documentary.
2008年3月，法国记者玛丽莫尼克罗宾释放到孟山都对她3年，全世界的研究成果。一本书出版了香格里拉Découverte，法国的编辑，和视频文件，世界报聚赛龙工程塑料孟山都公司（孟山都眼中的世界），是在DVD发行和普艺所示，法德文化电视频道。[108] [109]

它揭示了孟山都无数争议的事实。玛丽莫尼克罗宾周游世界，以满足科学家和政治人物，以便调查几个孟山都公司产品的后果。受访者包括希夫乔普拉，加拿大研究人员谁是加拿大卫生部解雇揭示了孟山都企图贿赂关于牛生长激素进入加拿大试图介绍。本研究会见了世界各地的作家谁试图警告有关转基因种子使用多个独立的政治机构的科学家。据记者，这些科学家最实际损失作为他们讲出自己的工作结果。在“旋转门综合症”也指出，在研究，作为对质量和对产品的影响，孟山都公司的科学结论的独立性构成威胁，特别是食品和药品监督管理局。

罗宾前往印度，墨西哥，阿根廷和巴拉圭，看看如何孟山都公司的转基因生物（GMOs），影响当地农民用他们的庄稼了。在印度农民的自杀率也增加了农民们发现很难谋生使用更昂贵的孟山都种子，尽管仍需要具体的索赔农药和化肥。墨西哥已被禁止转基因生物是试图限制污染和补贴的美国进口的转基因通过北美自由贸易协定（NAFTA）在吃玉米杂交。阿根廷农民放弃农业，转移到城市的贫民窟，因为他们无法与转基因作物和已经找到了他们的农场，牲畜，和儿童的福利产生负面农药径流的影响。巴拉圭被迫接受转基因作物，因为它是被进口和库存增加集体，不允许其出口将有不利影响的经济。在所有情况下的遗传变异是减少由于连作和所有权的结果是越来越集中。

农民自杀

前线的“种子的自杀：印度的绝望的农民”有详细的斗争面临的一些印第安农民。[88]过渡到使用最新的抗病虫害的种子和除草剂的必要了困难。农民们利用嘉吉和孟山都希望推动更大的收益转基因种子。从与转基因种子等赌博造成的债务，导致入契约奴役相当于一些农民。超过4500名农民自杀，其中约索赔主要是由于债台高筑的贫困造成的产量，增加对杀虫剂的需要，以及由Monsanto公司的Bt棉种子销售成本较高。[89] [90] [91] [92]

由国际粮食政策研究所在2008年10月公布的一份报告中提供的证据表明，在印度农民自杀的原因是由于几个原因，并介绍了Bt棉不是一个主要因素。[93]它说，早自杀在2002年的棉花引进，并已自1997年以来相当一致。[93] [94]其他研究还表明，在农民自杀事件的增加是由于各种社会和经济因素的结合。[95]这些措施包括债务，困难的农业半干旱地区，落后的农业收入，其他收入机会的情况下，在经济衰退迫使市区非农业和农民进入了缺乏适当的辅导服务。[95] [96]

Farmer suicides
Frontline's "Seeds of Suicide: India's Desperate Farmers" has detailed some of the struggles facing the Indian farmer.[88] The transition to using the latest pest-resistant seeds and the necessary herbicides has been difficult. Farmers have used genetically modified seeds promoted by Cargill and Monsanto hoping for greater yields. Resulting debts from such gambles with genetically modified seeds have led some farmers into the equivalent of indentured servitude. More than 4,500 farmers have committed suicide, which some claim is mostly due to mounting debt caused by the poor yields, increased need for pesticides, and the higher cost of the Bt cotton seed sold by Monsanto.[89][90][91][92]
A report released by the International Food Policy Research Institute in October 2008 provided evidence that the cause of farmer suicide in India was due to several causes and that the introduction of Bt cotton was not a major factor.[93] It argues that the suicides predate the introduction of the cotton in 2002 and has been fairly consistent since 1997.[93][94] Other studies also suggest the increase in farmer suicides is due to a combination of various socio-economic factors.[95] These include debt, the difficulty of farming semi-arid regions, poor agricultural income, absence of alternative income opportunities, the downturn in the urban economy forcing non-farmers into farming and the absence of suitable counseling services.[95][96]

Public officials formerly employed by Monsanto

• Justice Clarence Thomas worked as an attorney for Monsanto in the 1970s. Thomas wrote the majority opinion in the 2001 Supreme Court decision J. E. M. Ag Supply, Inc. v. Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc.|J. E. M. AG SUPPLY, INC. V. PIONEER HI-BREDINTERNATIONAL, INC.[102] which found that "newly developed plant breeds are patentable under the general utility patent laws of the United States." This case benefitted all companies which profit from genetically modified crops, of which Monsanto is one of the largest.[21][103][104]
• Michael R. Taylor was an assistant to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) commissioner before he left to work for a law firm on gaining FDA approval of Monsanto’s artificial growth hormone in the 1980s. Taylor then became deputy commissioner of the FDA from 1991 to 1994.[21] Taylor was later re-appointed to the FDA in August 2009 by President Barack Obama.[105]
• Dr. Michael A. Friedman was a deputy commissioner of the FDA before he was hired as a senior vice president of Monsanto.[21]
• Linda J. Fisher was an assistant administrator at the United States Environmental Protection Agency‎ (EPA) before she was a vice president at Monsanto from 1995 - 2000. In 2001, Fisher became the deputy administrator of the EPA.[21]
• Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was chairman and chief executive officer of G. D. Searle & Co., which Monsanto purchased in 1985. Rumsfeld personally made at least $12 million USD from the transaction.[21]

基因改造泛滥，必须自救。
马来西亚适合种植棉花和黄豆吗？

大豆为豆科大豆属一年生草本植物，高60-180cm。
世界在20世纪30年代以前，大豆种植主要集中在亚洲各国，如中国、印尼、日本和朝鲜等国。40年代末到50年代初，美国大豆生产超过中国和亚洲各国。目前，美洲国家，如美国、巴西、阿根廷已成为世界大豆主要生产和出口国。与此相比，欧洲、亚洲变化较小，非洲和南亚各国也在积极采取措施，扩大种植面积，提高单产。

棉花是离瓣双子叶植物，喜热、好光、耐旱、忌渍，适宜于在疏松深厚土壤中种植。棉花是锦葵科棉属植物的种子纤维，原产于亚热带。植株灌木状，在热带地区栽培可长到6米高，一般为1到2米。花朵乳白色，开花后不久转成深红色然后凋谢，留下绿色小型的蒴果，称为棉铃。棉铃内有棉籽，棉籽上的茸毛从棉籽表皮长出，塞满棉铃内部。棉铃成熟时裂开，露出柔软的纤维。纤维白色至白中带黄，长约2至4厘米，含纤维素约87-90%。棉花产量最高的国家有中国、美国、印度等。
