Between him predicting that we might have a pandemic a few years back and now this. Very strange how he is always correct in most situations.

However you need to understand he invests his money everywhere. So maybe it’s just a coincidence why this happened. No idea if he knew there would be a food shortage a few years back.

He knew about the pandemic because he said that the research funds were low and we were at risk of a pandemic which actually happened.

[Poker Player]

I wouldn't get too conspiratorial on this one. When you have little capital you can't buy land. Maybe you have $1K in the bank. Then if you save more you might buy mutual funds or put it in retirement funds etc. But when you have so much capital, it is normal on the one hand to diversify as adaseb has said and on the other hand you start thinking about buying raw materials and means of production. In other words, you go from being able to buy the shares of an oil company with $1K to buying the oil company to extract the oil yourself, or as would be the case of buying $1K of companies that produce food to buying land to produce the food yourself.

If I'm going to guess, it's either or a combination of:

1. him being smarter than your typical dude
2. he can afford to hire a crap ton of smart market analysts and such
3. stocks have been pretty frothy for a while now, and he might've chosen farmlands because maybe he saw farmland as something not as overpriced; maybe not necessarily that he predicted a food shortage

[jackg]

Perhaps he also bought farmland at the worst time to buy it. If yields are going down due to fertiliser shortages and other things then it might not be as good an investment as he'd hoped it would be when it was acquired.

Re predicting the pandemic, there's one every 10-20 years (since cheap air flights) and I think his "prediction" was based off the ebola pandemic.

[iv4n]

I still remember Soros' interview from 15-20 years ago when he said he is investing in land and food! There was the story of how food has grown by 500% in the last few years, and he predicted it would go even higher!

What asset has appreciated more than any asset since the year 2000? Answer: Farmland. 1,200%

The big players predicted this would happen (at least some of them)! I don't know if we can trust politicians and various experts, most of their predictions sound like a great catastrophe awaits us! It seems that hard days are waiting for us, it will not get better until we hit rock bottom, and that rock bottom doesn't seem close to me!

He is Bill gates for a reason. Also he gets the first taste of many amazing technologies built by Microsoft which we haven't yet heard off. So it's not surprising that he has a super computer at his disposal. So with his kind of intellect coupled with a super computer, can do wonders.

If you really want to know the power of business prediction and analytics, watch the case study of Asian Paints who has been a market leader since 70's in the paints industry despite steep competition with the help of data analysis. It is widely available in youtibe.

Yeah, totally a time machine!
But it malfunctioned and he turned back in time a bit too much

Everyone knew about Bill Gates's plans for farming for a decade, I don't understand why anyone is surprised by this anymore.

[bittraffic]

He has an investment group that will do that job for him and if they decide agriculture products is important for making money, its what they would do.

Looking back in the past there were famine too which is history repeats itself, then predicting what could happen is already there without having to predict it. But maybe in that part only of the world where there is winter. But in the equator part like in the South American countries, Asians or Pacific islands they may not experience the scarcity of food due to their resources and access to the sea.

We have food crisis all the time. The fact that you see store shelves bending with food does not mean there are no people who are starving. If you were working in food industry, you would knew that are products that we have in abundance, and there a group of products which makes harder and harder to produce.

Ever heard of a climate changes and a story about a farmer who had no harvest due to lack of rains? Ever tried buying winter jacket and boots for the next year in Spring when there are huge discounts? Bill Gates does the same, just with greater recourses and opportunities.

[FairUser]

I'm not a fan of conspiracy theories or judgments about the future, but the issues that happened are pretty much what will lead us on that journey. We've seen epidemics, wars, fuel crises, and food crises in the years to come... and all of this seems to have been meticulously planned and followed. consequences in society. Although I can also feel some of these bad things happening, I always wonder why we can't get out of that spiral, especially most of the people living on this earth, and whether the few are dominating everything in our present life. Is there a way for people to be aware of this? But the compulsion in their life, right from birth, we have learned all kinds of knowledge, but I don't understand how it helps in life. Is it the challenge in everyone's life? I think that right now is the time for us to be more serious about the problems in our current society and to take more practical measures to improve this life for the better. Hopefully, what will happen in the future will not be so bad that it will lead to bigger crises, especially since I feel that the issue of large-scale armed conflict will also happen soon and soon, such as involving leading powers, and is this a way to restore order on earth?

[Sterbens]

Sounds like a conspiracy right? he with his words seemed to know that in the future the economic conditions would be similar to what he said. I'm probably having a hard time digesting how bad the economic risk is with the predictions he often anticipates. His finances are everywhere and knowing the economic progress of each country makes him able to speak out loud. Or was it designed with a very mature plan? I don't know I don't think that a group of people control the world's economy, but the fact is that it always is.

No big deal. Anyone with a half functioning brain could see that coming. If I told you this was going to happen 5 years ago, you would label me a conspiracy theorist. Here we are now, the world's richest or one of the richest is acting like he lost his mind, buying farmland.

8 billion people is living on earth and the number increasing exponentially, this can't end well.

[Lucius]

Well, at least Billy and his family will feel safe and cared for in the time to come, because in addition to all the land he bought, he has a house with 18 bathrooms where he now lives alone, as he recently complained to the world. Despite all the wealth and investment, man has a problem that we ordinary mortals do not have - in which of the 18 bathrooms to meet his hygienic needs

I don’t know why people are so fascinated by people like him, does only wealth make a man?

the number of people on the planet isn't increasing exponentially  looks like it will peak at about 9 billion and then drop like a rock as countries become richer.   Lack of population is already a problem in first world countries.  that's one of the reasons for the immigration policies.  to replace the lack of birthrate. 

[Kakmakr]

You do not need to be Bill Gates to know that we are going to have a food crisis, if you look at the last 100 years statistics.  There are almost a 1.5% increase in the Global population every year..... so you can see where I am going with this. The world has 7.9 Billion people now....(2022)

"At the dawn of agriculture, about 8000 B.C., the population of the world was approximately 5 million. Over the 8,000-year period up to 1 A.D. it grew to 200 million (some estimate 300 million or even 600, suggesting how imprecise population estimates of early historical periods can be), with a growth rate of under 0.05% per year."

"A tremendous change occurred with the industrial revolution: whereas it had taken all of human history until around 1800 for world population to reach one billion, the second billion was achieved in only 130 years (1930), the third billion in 30 years (1960), the fourth billion in 15 years (1974), and the fifth billion in only 13 years (1987)."

So..... the question is.. has the agriculture and food production grown with the explosion in the global population? The short answer is NO, because global warming has caused an increased in extreme weather conditions that destroys agriculture and also over fishing has caused a massive decline in oceans stocks.

You are right here. You don't need to be Bill Gates to predict the future.
Because the numbers in our history are already clear and you just need to follow where it is going.
Climate change has been the topic for years or decades already. And most of us are not doing anything to possibly address its impact to our environment.
He is just acting to what he can do to sustain himself with the impending global hunger problem. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to understand this situation.

If you read any news well, you can draw several scenarios for what happens in the future, and if you have enough money, you can quickly double that money by publishing it after investments.

Bill Guest is an exceptional man. He is smart, has money, can employ smart people, and can learn information from governments or third parties that most people cannot access, and he has several intersecting investments, so it is not likely that he knows of an upcoming food crisis despite The average analyst can predict it.

These people have very smart minds - they know where to invest and how much to invest.
That is one of the reasons they are influencers and trend setters. Their goals and mottos are different from the ordinary people.
