your new food supply would have no effect whatsoever on the environment? It
will be immune to theft? It would be immune to destruction out of hatred?
or anything like that?

if that is true, nobody would want to eat it inthe first place!

you would do better by ending the corruption, and allowing them to grow
their own food, become eductated, and pull themselves up, rahter than
throwing even more money, however well intentioned, down the rat hole.
