We understand the value of public and private research for developing new technology. In fact, Monsanto has enabled hundreds of research studies by independent experts to better understand the efficacy, value and safety of GM crops. We have enabled several universities in the US to expand knowledge in the areas of pest biology and IRM. These efforts help build the scientific knowledge, expertise and the opportunity for scientific peer review and relevant discussions regarding the science. We continually evaluate our process for supporting this research. The comments made by these academic researchers is an opportunity to better understand their research needs and address the transparency of the process.
