Plain-English Summary
This bill aims to restrict Chinese ownership and control of agricultural land and food production facilities in the United States, likely out of concern for national security and food supply independence. The legislation would affect foreign investors from China who currently own or want to purchase farmland, agricultural businesses, or food processing operations in America. The bill has been sent to the Agriculture and Foreign Affairs committees to review what restrictions should be put in place and how they would work in practice.
