The graph has converted everything to 2022 US dollars, so any inflation, or as you put it increased prices, has been discounted. So, this is mainly from increased yield.

That's not accurate. Increased prices does not necessarily equate to inflation. There are a thousand potential causes of price fluctuations that aren't inflation.

Literally the growing middle class of Asia and their increased demand for meat. Meat prices here in Oz are only heading one way and it started way before inflation took off

Yes, or if the inflation-adjusted cost per calorie has gone down over time (such as due to increased yields) it could actually be closer to deflation than inflation? I suppose presenting it in terms of calorie output instead of constant dollar output would be better in that way. But also showing inflation-adjusted cost per calorie over time would be interesting as well.
