The eggs thing wasn't complex market conditions, companies saw an excuse to raise prices in unison, they tripled their profits, and are slowly lowering them as sales decrease due to people buying fewer eggs. They're still up 200%.
If you want to know what lowering food prices looks like, ask the chinese. Each city I went to had arrays of different policies, none of which started and ended with "give money to giant ag companies and the means to exploit migrant workers." Lot of policies helping retirees start micro farms.
