What this means is that Maou's actions could lead to an intensification of the human war effort. A better supplied army could march further and fight longer. Then again, this is an anime, so perhaps the ruler could be totally blissfully unaware their peasants are producing much more food than in the past.

Also, the local village could just store and/or sell the excess to improve their area and send only what they are alloted to send for the military. Increase production potentially means more food and money for themselves.
