In this geography assignment I will be looking at the company called Monsanto regarding its practices surrounding world food production and how it measures up to ethical standards.
A broad definition of ethics is about doing the right thing, that is, to be fair and to be just to people who ever they are and where ever they are.

Now Monsanto’s business is basically all around the world, we find them where ever the farmers that buy from Monsanto sell their crops. Monsanto was very smart by doing this because when the terminator seed (genetically modified seeds) dies the farmer will come back to Monsanto for more and this way Monsanto will still be getting money. If there was no terminator seed (genetically modified seed) Monsanto would lose money because the farmers would collect their own normal seeds instead of going back to Monsanto every few years. In this way the Monsanto brand has impacted globally and this can affect the future of farming if it keeps going this way.
Conclusion
Monsanto as a company plays a big part in globalisation.
