Monsanto has made plenty of money feeding the world, including poor people. The key is to do it at scale. Even though some of their tactics and products are controversial, they have probably made the most headway in eliminating hunger as any other organization in history.

- jjoonathan 8y agoThe fact that the market places near-zero value on feeding poor people rather than exactly zero is not a ringing endorsement of its priorities. Also, I'm not at all sure the value proposition they see in being charitable in the tail of their price grading (i.e. no terminator genes) is market-driven. It could quite plausibly be driven by fear of government intervention -- or even, possibly, compassion.
