China's growing investment in U.S. agricultural land has raised concerns about the security of our food supply. Johnson is a leader on this bill and has been vocal in his opposition to these purchases. “Food security is national security, but China – one of our biggest adversaries – has significant access to our food supply,” said Johnson. “I’ve been committed to tackling this issue for years, working to block these purchases and protect our supply chain from those who pose a threat.” The Protecting American Agriculture from Foreign Adversaries Act would: Add the Secretary of Agriculture to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) for certain covered transactions, including agricultural land, agriculture biotechnology, and the agriculture industry - transportation, storage, and processing. Ensure USDA has a seat at the table to properly report and review transactions from the People’s Republic of China, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, the Russian Federation, and the Islamic Republic of Iran. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:43:57Z
