S 2312 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Food Security is National Security Act of 2023

This bill amends the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) review process to explicitly consider food security. It requires CFIUS to evaluate how proposed foreign investments might affect the availability, access, safety, or quality of U.S. food and agriculture systems. The bill also adds the Secretaries of Agriculture and Health and Human Services to the CFIUS committee to provide expertise on food-related matters. These changes directly affect foreign entities seeking to acquire U.S. assets in agriculture, food production, or supply chains, ensuring their transactions are assessed for national food security impacts.
