Each Fortune conference — from Brainstorm Green, Brainstorm Tech, to the Most Powerful Women Summit, and the Global Forum — yields fascinating conversations with the best and brightest minds in business.

Fortune wants to make it even easier for you to eavesdrop. The Fortune Brainstorm podcast is a weekly show that features recorded conversations from Fortune’s live events.

Fortune 500 company Monsanto (MON) has been in the news lately, most recently because the United States government found some of its genetically modified wheat on an Oregon farm. Fortune Assistant Managing Editor Brian O’Keefe spoke with Monsanto CEO Hugh Grant at Fortune Brainstorm Green three years ago. We checked back in with Brian about this latest issue at the largest seed company in the world. Tune in for a rundown of Monsanto’s latest press troubles, as well as Brian’s take on eating a plate of genetically modified food.
