Yea, a villain that threatens...the food supply of a nation....feels kind of underwhelming. It's the downside of realism. Reminds me of 007 Quantum of Solace, which I hated for the same reason. I much prefered the classic megalomaniacal Bond villains.
Even though they explained how in this setting, destroying the food supply will almost certainly result in the collapse of the society...it's rather petty compared to the awesome and flashy plots of a true villain like the Joker.
