Congress is sounding the alarm, and it’s time we understand how to best protect America’s food and national security.” Since 2010, foreign ownership and investment in U.S. agricultural land has nearly doubled. In the wake of rising input costs for farmers, supply chain delays, geopolitical pressure, and high food prices, it is critical to understand the impact foreign ownership and investment can have on food security, national security, and the economy. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:20:33Z |
