This is giving the dystopian chills when I consider that the Uber-wealthy proponents of population reduction (Bill Gates) are buying up crop land. Long game?

Gates never advocated population reduction. He has advocated for improvements in human development that inevitably leads to reduced fertility rates (ie slower growth). Gates owns a lot of farmland for one guy, but it's a miniscule percentage of the total farmland in the US.
Long game is either population control or world domination.
Owning all the land is world domination.
