For a significant amount of time, fuel has been the defining factor of how efficient economies can be in terms production and movement. If you have better access to gas, petrol, crude oil…chances are you are in a better position to manufacture, and project military power beyond your borders more efficiently. So, wealth and world domination has always been along the lines of who controls the flow of fuel, among other factors.
Many fronts are opening and countries continue to bid to be in a better position in the control of resources of the world. When you think about which superpower will prop up in the next 100 years, in most cases one would look at China, Russia, India, Brazil, Indonesia…and all. That is, along the lines of countries…Nations…you know…political conglomerates. But something is shaping up that could shake the dynamics of world control.
Many films have once in a while thrown in the aspect of domination and governments ran by corporations or commercial entities. Where People are just customers or statistics in the financial aspirations of these corporations. The more the people under the control of a corporation, the stronger it would get.
In this case, people power…Constitutions and civil authorities would be replaced by contracts and rules of conduct.

Food Production and Flow
One huge way of how to control people is to control food production and flow. In comes corporations that are hellbent on marketing the benefits of GMO foods and organisms to help fix food sufficiency issues. Most countries that are the guinea pigs of the experiments of the success rates of these foods are usually Low Economy countries in Africa, South America, Asia and most of the Southern Hemisphere. They come here, sign agreements with governments where they are allowed to use large tracts of land to do their GMO production. There have been cases where some people have had their land taken away by corporations with the aid of governments in the name of achieving food security. Several farmers in many countries in Africa are already facing the wrath of the encroachment of corporate agriculture

This strategy is seen as scorched earth land seizure, so, in hostile societies, these corporations will encourage farmers to purchase crop seeds from them, crop seeds that produce better farm produce from even subsistence size farm lands. The catch is, these seeds are Genetically altered and you can only plant it once. Then you have to go back to the company and buy planting seeds again next season. Now here is where I introduce Monsanto. One Corporation that is really venturing into the food control arena.

GMO foods can be altered in a way to make them really productive and helpful. But I suspect there are uncouth corporations out there that would want to get to a stage where their stranglehold on what people consume as opposed to how they live, would make them actually control the world. You can stop yourself from falling for the marketing gimmicks that get you to buy that iphone that you usually get bored with after a week. But you cant stop yourself from eating, right ? And your work force and military as a country need food. So, someone would actually gain the ability to control what holds a country together as an economy and a political entity.
