SXSW Eco interview: Janice Person, Monsanto

This post is part of Triple Pundit’s ongoing coverage of the SXSW Eco conference. For the rest, please visit our SXSW Eco page here.

Although they are a company that is not without controversy in sustainability circles, Monsanto turned out in great numbers for this year's SXSW Eco conference in Austin.

I had a chance to talk with Janice Person about why Monsanto came to SXSW Eco, what they're learning from their trip, and how the company hopes to open up to deeper dialogue with the wide variety of stakeholders at the conference and beyond.

See what Janice had to say in the interview below:
