Monsanto's experiments with natural food supply - Part 2

So yesterday, I posted about some of the failed and negative results of Monsanto's policies and business practices. But, it does not have to be negative. In the end, a higher crop yield is good for the farmer and good for our planet.

What if Monsanto:
  1. Instead of forcing farmers to buy new seeds each season, charge a licensing fee, which is a % of their crop yield each season. A very sustainable process, which will give Monsanto a yearly guaranteed income.
  2. With all their resources, they can research and modify seeds to use less water, natural fertilizers, have better endurance and generate higher yields; instead of taking the chemical fertilizer route.

Those are two most relevant thoughts that I have, but I am sure that Monsanto can come up with even more ways to build a sustainable business process.
