Bill Gates, already the largest private owner of farmland in the United States, is now setting his sights on Britain, teaming up with BlackRock to acquire vast swathes of UK farmland.
BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, has launched a hedge fund aimed at purchasing farmland across Britain, a move sparking widespread debate over the implications for food sovereignty, rural communities, and the concentration of land ownership.
The strategy, which mirrors Gates’ sweeping acquisitions of American farmland, appears designed to consolidate control over agricultural resources and supply chains under a few powerful globalist entities.
The timing of these acquisitions has also drawn attention due to Gates’ recent visits to 10 Downing Street and parallels with Labour Party policies, such as Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves’ deeply unpopular inheritance tax reform policy.

Critics argue these Gates-approved policies will further squeeze small farmers, and making their lands vulnerable to buyouts by corporate giants like BlackRock and Gates.
According to reports, BlackRock has instructed its subsidiaries to avoid buying farms sold at auction due to owners defaulting on debt payments, potentially to sidestep public scrutiny of distressed sales.
BlackRock has also bolstered its investments in UK renewable energy, including wind farms in Grimsby and solar installations in Pembrokeshire, projects that reportedly power 1.8 million British homes.
However, this green agenda conveniently aligns with recent globalist efforts to acquire land on a massive scale, freezing independent farmers out of the industry, as farmland doubles as prime real estate for renewable energy projects.
While exact figures on the amount of UK farmland currently owned by BlackRock remains opaque, their aggressive expansion into the agricultural sector aligns with the broader agenda of the global elite to consolidate control over the world’s food supply and critical supply chains.
