Possibly in response to recent increasing unpopularity of genetically modified crops, plant biotech giant, Monsanto has put up a collection of videos touting the benefits and advantages of GM crops and plant biotechnology. The site includes conversations with farmers, as well as agriculture and plant biotechnology researchers.

An update on the company's R&D pipeline, strategic initiatives, product performance will be delivered by Monsanto's Executive Vice President and International Commercial Lead Brett Begemann on Dec. 7, at the citigroup Investment Research 16th Annual Chemical Conference in New York.

A simultaneous audio webcast of the presentation of Begemann's presentation will be available through the Citigroup Investment Research Conference Web site.
