Right of reply: Monsanto responds to the Undercurrent video

The managing editor of Monsanto Australia & New Zealand accuses the Undercurrent of inaccurate and damaging statements in its film about Monsanto and Roundup, which was first published on the Guardian

Last week the Guardian published a video called "Why are we being fed by a poison expert: Monsanto and Roundup" on its news website, under the science and agriculture banner. While the video was at times humorous, the content contained errors regarding Monsanto, the ethics of our people and the safety of our products.

Some of the statements made in this video are incorrect and damaging not just to Monsanto, but to farmers and the important role they play in feeding and clothing the world's rapidly growing population.
