Care e diferenta mai exact?
Care e distorsionarea?
Am pus articol, am facut precizare.
Diferenta este intre a fi "cel mai mare proprietar" sau "cel mai mare proprietar privat" - asta in conditiile in care majoritatea terenurilor agricole (in cea mai mare proportie, in afara de guvernul federal) sint detinute de catre corporatii nu de catre persoane private.
Mai jos, edificarile Reuters:
According to a January 2021 article by ‘The Land Report’, Gates owned 242,000 acres of farmland through two investment management firms - Cottonwood Ag Management and Cascade Investment (here).
The figure is far below the total area of U.S. farmland. A 2021 report published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) said there were 895,300,000 acres of farmland in the United States. (here). Using those figures, Gates would own about 0.027% of U.S. farmland.
In a statement to Reuters, editor of ‘The Land Report’ and author of the article published by the outlet on farmland owned by Gates, Eric O’ Keefe, called the claim “absurd.”
While Gates does not own the majority of U.S. farmland, he is the largest private farmland owner, according to ‘The Land Report’
