Checked myself. This is what I found:
"Yes, the Rockefellers have been deeply tied to the food industry for over a century, both through direct business ventures and extensive philanthropy.
••• John D. Rockefeller Sr., while best known for Standard Oil, initially entered business through agricultural commodities—founding Clark & Rockefeller, a commission merchant firm dealing in grain, hay, and meats. His early success was fueled by the Civil War demand for food supplies, which significantly boosted profits.
••• The Rockefeller Foundation has played a major role in shaping modern food systems. It was a key driver behind the Green Revolution, funding research that increased global food production through high-yield crops and modern agricultural techniques. This included major support for institutions like the International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines.
In recent years, the Rockefeller Foundation launched a $105 million "Good Food Strategy" focused on creating climate-friendly, sustainable food systems. This initiative aims to diversify food production by supporting small and medium-sized farms, improving supply chain resilience, and ensuring access to affordable, healthy food—especially in response to crises like the pandemic.
••• David Rockefeller, a prominent family member, was a major backer of Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture, a nonprofit farm and restaurant in New York that promotes sustainable, organic farming and connects consumers with the source of their food.
••• There are also claims—though controversial—that the Rockefellers have used their influence to reshape the food system, with some sources suggesting their efforts have contributed to corporate consolidation and global food policy shifts."
