Canadian Jordan Peterson. (very smart man) mentions Bill Gates buying up farmland and taking it out of production.
He also gives his opinion on Trudeau. lol

You Canadians should vote him in as Prime Minister.

Thanks for sharing. It’s very concerning

I've watched a lot of Petersons discussions. Very intelligent man.

Old news, he's doing it in the good ol USA...so is China!

How much land does it take for a family to be self sufficient as far as feeding itself?

Sand?
Rock?
Clay?
Alabama black belt?

Location, location, location....

You know you can buy whatever kind of dirt you want now a days.

Build a business, make Billions of dollars and you too can buy as much land as you want.

China is another story.

You are asking about enough to feed an immediate family not make a living correct?

Not much, 5 10 acres? Maybe 20?

Admittedly I did not watch the video but I’m not completely alarmed by taking ag land out of production in some areas. Much current ag land could either use a rest for a few years or in many cases be better suited as buffer and cover land. Our current “modern” ah practices have become very efficient and productive but at what cost? More isn’t necessarily always better. Happy trapping! ScottW

Canada is the biggest foreign landowners of US soil.

Will you be alarmed when there is no food on the shelves. Like what has been happening during covid.

We have not felt the full extent of the covid panic that shut down many key industries in the US including food production, supply chains, fertilizer fuel prices etc etc...
Some countries will be starving for sure and could even be ours with the plan the lizards have for us to reduce the worlds popuation by 90%

Bil Gates says there are too many people on the planet and starts buying up all available farmland and takes it out of service. Thats good for wildlife, not so good for us.

Just to feed, That much really?

Enough to grow a milk cow, flock of chickens, pen for pigs, and a big garden. With proceeds from your mill you could buy flour, coffee, sugar, and such. 5 to 10 would seem about right?

If you that feel you need 10 acres or more to feed a family, then a couple billion people on this world would be dead already. Right now the average for a family of 4 worldwide would be about 2-3 acres per familly. It may be that high here with the size and type of diet we have but if we continue to lose water for irrigation the acres available and the production per acre will dwindle with the loss of water.

I think the milk cow will increase it quite a bit. Pasture for it and calf plus whether you decide to make your own hay for the winter or buy it/ barter for it.

Around 1.5 acres per cow/calf give or take in Ohio. Hogs eat…a lot, what ya gonna feed em? Chickens eat more than you think. Might get by with 2-3 acres but 5-10 gives some wiggle room. It ain’t rained here for awhile and pastures are thin. Neighbor is haying wet cows now. Winter is what will tax you the most. Everyone including the stock gotta eat every day 365. You don’t own the livestock, they own you.

Is there some law that says you gotta have a cow? lol

Yes lol. It's up to your own families needs. If you don't need milk don't worry about it. Maybe you will have a neighbor that you can barter/trade with. Another option is goats milk, they don't need as much pasture or hay as a cow.
