Monsanto, world’s pioneer in modern biotechnology, is introducing an old conservation practice, ”contour farming,” on corn expansion areas targetted by government at 75,000 hectares of hilly grasslands. Advanced in technology yet conscious of current environmental protection needs, Monsanto has already started adopting a farm conservation practice in areas where it supplies genetically modified (GM) Bacillus thuringiensis (borer-resistant Bt corn) and Roundup Ready (herbicide-resistant) corn.
