Tightens federal oversight of foreign ownership of U.S. farmland and related real estate for national security and food security. It raises and publicizes penalties for failing to report foreign agricultural land holdings, requires due diligence and certifications in land deals, launches nationwide outreach on reporting rules, and builds a public, digital database of foreign-owned agricultural land.
It adds new national‑security reviews for certain real estate transactions by foreign entities of concern, gives USDA a new enforcement office to investigate and audit records, adds USDA and FDA leadership to CFIUS, and requires recurring risk reports to Congress. It bars foreign persons from participating in Farm Service Agency programs and authorizes funding to carry out these activities.
