This decisive effort aims to protect U.S. agriculture from foreign control, mainly China, and safeguard critical infrastructure from potential threats.
Launched on July 8, 2025, the National Farm Security Action Plan is a comprehensive effort to shield American farmlands and food industries from foreign influence.
The plan, spearheaded by Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins, was unveiled alongside Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Attorney General Pam Bondi.
The Trump administration is laser-focused on preventing Chinese nationals and foreign adversaries from acquiring U.S. farmland, with a particular emphasis on properties around strategic military bases.
The threat of foreign ownership does not just pose economic risks—it is a matter of national security.
“I want to know who owns the land around our bases and strategic bases, and getting an understanding of why foreign entities, foreign companies, foreign individuals are buying up the land around those bases,” stated Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, underlining the strategic importance of this initiative.
This concern is echoed by Agriculture Secretary Rollins, emphasizing that American agriculture plays a critical role in national security beyond just feeding families.
Key aspects of the plan involve the use of presidential authorities to reclaim land already purchased by foreign adversaries.
The Trump administration is determined to claw back properties and leverage federal mechanisms to prevent further land acquisitions that undermine the security of the nation’s agricultural infrastructure.
In addition to land purchase bans, the plan includes removing foreign nationals from USDA contracts and research agreements, further securing American agricultural research from intellectual property theft and agroterrorism.
Rollins highlighted, “American agriculture is not just about feeding our families, but about protecting our nation and standing up to foreign adversaries who are buying our farmland, stealing our research, and creating dangerous vulnerabilities in the very systems that sustain us.”
Furthermore, the plan restructures the Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act to impose stricter penalties on false filings, thereby closing loopholes that foreign entities exploit.
The National Farm Security Action Plan also outlines a blueprint for bipartisanship, garnering support from both Republican and Democrat leaders.
Prominent Republican governors like Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Jim Pillen, and Bill Lee praised the initiative, recognizing the critical nature of safeguarding farmland in their states.
This comprehensive approach aims to foster cooperation across the legislative and executive branches at both federal and state levels.
