Better questions would be - why does one man need so much farmland? What is he going to do with it? How much more is he planning to buy? If he suddenly stops all farming on all farmlands that he buys, what would be the impact on the food supply?
It is amazing that you're arguing in support of a billionaire with a monopolistic, predatory past. He might be doing good things today, but he is also a big supporter of companies like Monsanto. He also has the arrogance of influencing things his way using his money, even when a majority of people/voters don't agree with him. Here is an example : https://www.prwatch.org/news/2016/04/13085/charitable-plutocracy-bill-gates-washington-state-and-nuisance-democracy https://www.prwatch.org/news/2016/04/13085/charitable-plutoc...
I do not know if you are arguing in good faith at this point. No single person, especially an unelected person, should have as much influence as Bill has. He is just one example. There are other super shitty examples. At least Bill is doing some good, there are other billionaires that are much, much worse.
