"Uncertain Chinese Ownership: The Growing Concern Over US Farmland"

The U.S. Government Accountability Office found that the Biden administration is failing to track foreign ownership of U.S. farmland, particularly Chinese investment, as required by law. The Department of Agriculture has not consistently shared timely data on foreign investments and has no plan to create an online database, despite Congress mandating one by 2025. Concerns about national security risks related to foreign investments in U.S. agricultural land have prompted Republican lawmakers to call for increased oversight and legislative action.
