A conversation with Monsanto’s Robb Fraley

Monsanto chief technology officer Robb Fraley, often referred to as “the father of agricultural biotechnology”, was in Lincoln, Nebraska recently for a presentation at the University of Nebraska.

In an exclusive interview with Brownfield, Fraley talked about how his role has changed over the past couple of years.

“Typically, when I’ve come to Nebraska in the past, it’s been to meet with growers—and I still do a lot of that—but now I’m meeting with consumer groups and folks involved in the nutrition and health industries to explain the importance of innovation in agriculture,” Fraley tells Brownfield.
