We know Bill Gates as one of the founders of Microsoft and his position on Forbes' "World's Richest Businessmen" list. Bill Gates, an entrepreneur, programmer, businessperson, and author, resigned as the president of Microsoft in March 2020 to devote more time to philanthropic work. Unfortunately, his resignation didn't necessarily benefit the world greatly because Gates, who is deeply concerned about climate disaster, is once again trying something new with the farmland he recently purchased.
In January 2021, Land Report's statements revealed that Bill Gates and his spouse own 30% of farmland in America. A few months later, NBC News shared a map. In this map, which only shows Gates' land in the United States, there is something quite obvious that catches our attention. Out of the total 268,984 acres, 242,000 are agricultural land. When we consider the land acquired through shell companies, these numbers grow. In 2021, Bill Gates had 979,000 acres of farmland in his portfolio. We can now clearly answer the phrase from a news article dated back then, "The investment purpose is not yet known."
The primary reason for Gates' interest in agriculture is to prevent climate disaster. You are probably aware of his book, "How to Avoid a Climate Disaster." In it, he mentions that eating hamburgers contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. His real target there is the rich countries with the highest meat consumption. He emphasizes that carbon emissions from meat production challenge the atmosphere and, therefore, climate balances. Their agriculture on their own lands is entirely industrial. As you might guess, there are no plows, oxen, or horse-drawn carriages. There's no problem with these, but he is trying to create an ecosystem that completely eliminates the concept of raising animals. The billions he has invested in developing lab-grown meat are a testament to this goal.
