Protecting Agricultural Land from Foreign Adversaries
New rules aim to protect American agricultural land and businesses from being acquired by entities from countries deemed a threat. This means the government will more closely scrutinize transactions involving the purchase of farmland, especially near military installations, to ensure national security. In practice, citizens may experience greater stability in the agricultural sector and reduced risk of foreign government influence on food production.
