In this presentation of the Forum, Dr. Allen M. Featherstone, professor and head of Kansas State University’s Agricultural Economics Department, will discuss how foreign ownership of U.S. food and agricultural assets is becoming a more important issue in policy debates. He will discuss the foreign ownership of agricultural land and how that has changed from previous years. In addition, Featherstone will also provide an update on the ownership of food and agriculturally-related corporations that support U.S. agricultural production and how foreign control of key aspects of the U.S. food supply chain can have potential impacts on U.S. food security.
