World Bank and IMF reforms include giving high interest loans to countries but in turn requesting trade liberalisation without using tariffs to protect local agricultural producers, which results in local food not being competitive with foreign food exporters (who btw got huge subsidies from their governments). This is where big corporations involved come into action, Monsanto being one notable example.

Result is that instead of local food, countries depend on imports from few corporations. [1]If you control food [production], you control people. This is what international banks are trying to do through the IMF reforms.
