This sounds like good news but what I don't want is one big corporation replacing hundreds/thousands of worldwide farmers and having total control over the cost of selling this to consumers.

Most of the production in the us already comes from 2-3 giant corporate farms. It is simply more effeciant.

Those farms receive immense subsidies as well. No, it's not efficient, it's just what the US economic system produces.
