It doesn't help that I've been thinking more about this than usual, because in my current novel, one of the main countries keeps getting conquered because it's a breadbasket. And I'm writing a White Collar AU where after a global food and energy collapse (and population collapse), the world turns to extensive slave labor, most of which is involved in food production.
