Food won't inflate much. In the world there are a lot of places that grow food, and they are happy to sell more for same price. Some food might become more expensive (premium, farmer, local-made), but common food won't.

If general inflation sets in, food will be affected all the same. You need to buy lots of things to farm, such as equipment fertilizer, seeds and so on. All these will cost more, therefore even if your labor is extremely highly leveraged, all other inputs will drive up the prices if general inflation exists.
