China and other adversaries are threatening America’s food supply. A recent legislative push promises to better protect Americans while redefining what constitutes national security policy.
On Tuesday, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and other top Trump administration officials announced the National Farm Security Action Plan. According to the Agriculture Department, the plan “elevates American agriculture as a key element” of national security and seeks to strengthen the “resilience of our nation’s food and agricultural systems.” The National Farm Security Action Plan addresses foreign ownership of farmland, guards against intellectual property theft, preempts biothreats, targets fraud, and works “to identify non-adversarial partners to work with when domestic production is not available.”
