Monsanto Company is the world’s
largest seed company which it is specializes in biotechnology or the genetic
manipulation of organism. They are trying to modify crops i.e. by inserting new
genes etc. in order to meet certain aims such as higher yield, surviving during
drought, ward of weeds etc. Monsanto’s
genetically modified (GM) seeds have increased the quantity and availability of
crops which helps farmer worldwide increase food production and revenues
Mosanto, despite being very
successful in its field have had some serious issues with different
stakeholders. The problems encountered could be broadly summarized into few
categories: Environmental /health problems with Mosanto’s products , bribery issues and legal issues. To
know further about Mosanto’s case study, you can refer to this site http://www.scribd.com/doc/61268487/Monsanto-case-study
and also this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsanto.
What I’m trying to write here is about how Islam, based on my understanding, solves
Mosanto’s problems. We want to try to apply Tawhidic Paradigm and Maqasid syari’ah
into this case.
