Three ‘distinguished’ biotech scientists, with Monsanto’s executive vice president being one of them (as NaturalSociety pointed out in previous posts), have been awarded the World Food Prize during a ceremony at the U.S. State Department, where Secretary of State, John Kerry, delivered the keynote address. Interestingly enough, Monsanto and Syngenta are major sponsors of the World Food Prize, along with the biotechnology giant, DuPont.
