Sorry, Charlie.  In a zero sum game, one party must lose for the other to
win.  For the average American Homo sapiens, about 20 acres are converted
to agriculture, and more for housing, businesses, and roads.  The former
inhabitants of those acres are the losers.

On the other hand, some species that are in symbiotic relationships with
Homo sapiens, such as maize and chickens, benefit from our success.
