Trump Administration Unveils National Farm Security Action Plan

It calls on federal and state agencies to enact transparency protocols and new penalties to deter foreign threats to U.S. agriculture.

Overview

  • The July 8 rollout in Washington featured President Trump alongside Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, Attorney General Pam Bondi and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
  • Its seven pillars target farmland protection, supply chain resilience, research defense and stricter oversight of nutrition programs and foreign land holdings.
  • Enhanced transparency requirements and tougher penalties will take effect immediately through coordinated federal-state enforcement.
  • The initiative expands the Make Agriculture Great Again agenda by embedding biosecurity and agroterrorism prevention within national security planning.
  • It builds on late-June DOJ indictments accusing foreign actors of smuggling agroterrorism agents to exploit supply-chain vulnerabilities.
