Why isn't it good for Bill Gates to own so much farm land?

I've not watched many episodes of the Joe Rogan show but perhaps I should watch more. I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. Yes, it's over two hours long. So what? If you don't have the time to listen then just run through your local Jack in the Box drive through and get yourself a burger and pretend everything is okay.

If you don't buy CAFO (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation) food or are interested in regenerative farming vs. conventional (industrial) farming, you may enjoy this video. If you have family members you are trying to reach regarding more sustainable food systems, this may be a video of interest.

Stuart Varney of Fox News asked Will Harris of White Oak Pastures to be on for 5 minutes explaining why he didn't think it was good for Bill Gates to own so much farm land.

Stuart Varney pissed off Will Harris and Joe Rogan subsequently had him on the Joe Rogan show to give him time to tell his side.

This video, in my opinion, could be posted under medical forum but some might complain about it so I put it here in the STS forum.
