Redefining Agribusiness: Q&A with Monsanto chief technology officer Robert T. Fraley

It is an exciting time for the industry as biotechnology and genomics begin to have an impact on agriculture worldwide with the development of insect- and weed-resistant seeds. A leader in applying these technologies to agriculture, Monsanto is developing the next generation of products that will enhance seeds with qualities such as heat and drought tolerance and even products that can improve health. Along with these technological advances, Monsanto is building the organizational and business frameworks required to successfully deliver these products to market.

In the second of Spencer Stuart’s ongoing series of interviews with top agribusiness leaders, CTO Robert T. Fraley discusses with Pat Walsh and Michael Wheatley, Monsanto’s research in this area, the impact these developments will have on agriculture and the leadership and talent issues facing the company.
