MONTEREY, CALIF. - Dole Fresh Vegetables, Inc. and Monsanto Co. have entered into an agreement to develop new products that will "enhance consumer vegetable choices," according to the companies. The five-year agreement will focus on broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce and spinach. Any new products developed through the agreement will be commercialized by Dole in North America.
Plant breeding techniques will be used to improve the nutrition, flavor, color, texture, taste and aroma of the vegetables. Monsanto's role in the collaboration will be to improve the development of new and beneficial vegetable characteristics. Their efforts will be guided by Dole's knowledge of consumer needs and marketing.
"Dole prides itself on innovation and bringing consumers high quality, nutritious and great-tasting products," said Roger Billingsley, senior vice-president of research and development for Dole Fresh Vegetables. "We are looking forward to collaborating closely with Monsanto to do just that."

Top 2 Ways you Help Monsanto Every Day (Without Knowing it)
"Big agribusiness & biotech corporations like Monsanto are gaining more and more power over our food supply, thanks in part to Congress creating policies that give them competitive advantage while harming small farmers & competitors, but also because we consume their products every day WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING IT.
Want to do something about it? Accept the "Replace Roundup" challenge now, at http://bytestyle.tv/node/55
and we'll show Monsanto (and Congress) who's really in charge! (hint: it's US, as long as we're willing to stand up)
So... what kind of effect can we really have on a corporate giant like Monsanto? Well, if 50,000 people accept this challenge, and each person who accepts tells 4 friends to substitute their next Roundup purchase (assuming 1.33 gallon container) with a natural alternative, we'll divert $6.7 million dollars away from Monsanto -- that's a HUGE start!"
