Monsanto generates wealth by creating technology for higher yielding crops, therefore feeding more people and making money at the same time.

Is that why food prices keep falling?

Have you see the predictions for the world's population by 2050? Even if you accept the lowest estimates, agricultural productivity will have to rise 60% by then to feed all of these people. That is roughly double the output possible with current farming technology.

What's your solution? Victory gardens? You'd better hope bio-science continues to advance. Luddites starve.
