Megacorp scaling is all about economies of scale. The connection between economies of scale, lower cost, and high production are all well understood. We can fix more nitrogen, for less money, and produce more food.
Without megacorp scaling, we'd need to spend more money on the same amount of food. Is that possible? Or would a different equilibrium point have been reached? Say, 7 billion instead of 8?

You would think that the 20th century debunked such notions, but commies never learn... ...err I mean, true communism has never been tried!
