Bill Gates' Farmland Purchase and Investments in the Food Industry
Bill Gates has been acquiring farmland in the US, leading many to question his intentions. This ties into his investments in fake meat companies such as Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods. It is similar to a strategy Microsoft used in the 90s to monopolize the computer market. Gates' farmland purchases are part of his Embrace, Extend, Extinguish approach, where he enters a market, expands his reach, and then pushes for regulations that harm competitors. Gates also invests in patented synthetic fertilizers and fake meat alternatives, which he claims are greener and healthier. These investments align with the companies receiving patents, which equates to profit. Overall, Gates' actions raise concerns about the food supply and his influence over it.
