This bill tightens disclosure requirements for foreign entities acquiring US agricultural land, lowering the reporting threshold to 1% ownership when multiple foreign investors are involved. It mandates increased data sharing between the Department of Agriculture and the national security review committee (CFIUS). The goal is to enhance transparency and better identify potential national security risks related to farmland ownership.
