    Subtitle H--Foreign Agricultural Restrictions to Maintain Local 
                    Agriculture and National Defense

     SEC. 1091. AGRICULTURAL FOREIGN INVESTMENT.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) agriculture is vital for the national security and 
     economic prosperity of the United States and is a key element 
     of United States national power;
       (2) agriculture of the United States feeds the people of 
     the United States and the world, and has been a key 
     contributor to advancements in technology and medicine;
       (3) strategic competitors of the United States have 
     hegemonic goals to dominate the global agriculture industry 
     and undermine the United States agriculture sector through 
     intellectual property theft of seeds and other patented 
     agriculture-related technologies;
       (4) China in particular has increased agricultural 
     investments tenfold over the past decade and continues to 
     make investments in United States agriculture, agribusiness, 
     and animal processing industries, including by acquiring 
     ownership of farmland in the United States;
       (5) the United States must prevent agricultural espionage 
     and theft of intellectual property conducted by China and 
     other foreign entities of concern (as defined in section 9 of 
     the Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act of 1978 (7 
     U.S.C. 3508));
       (6) agricultural intellectual property theft may enable 
     global competitors to undercut United States producers in 
     international seed markets;
       (7) the Federal Government does not fully exercise its 
     authorized oversight over investment transactions within the 
     agricultural industry, causing--
       (A) United States farmland to be under foreign acquisition; 
     and
       (B) the influence of foreign adversaries on agriculture in 
     the United States to be an unknown risk factor; and
       (8) the Federal Government must enforce and modernize 
     existing laws to monitor and prevent malign actions of 
     foreign entities of concern (as defined in section 9 of the 
     Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act of 1978 (7 
     U.S.C. 3508)) on the farms and land of the United States.

     Investment Disclosure Act of 1978 (7 U.S.C. 3502) is
