They're worried if farmers produce too much food, food prices go down because of supply and demand. In the USA the govt pays farmers to produce less food. The elites want food prices high so it's hard for the poor and middle class to get ahead. But since the green revolution aka agricultural revolution, it has been very easy and cheap for farmers to produce a lot of food. It's why world population exploded which the rich are desperate to reduce.

The overall concept is in 1984's theory of oligarchal collectivism. Technology has made people's standard of living easier. The rich are in power because of technology so they can't just stop it but they want to artificially lower our living standards and to control population growth.
