@Obi : if the food becomes easier and cheaper to grow, then :


 * Prices of food will drop because the food companies can lower prices and sell more food, and still be profitable.

Or :


 * Food companies will be able to expand using the extra profits and be able to grow more food, increasing the supply and eventually lowering the price of food.

If food becomes more affordable, isn't that a good thing? Even if it doesn't lower food prices, the companies can do good things with that extra money, like giving more to charities or hiring more employees, etc.
