The Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act (AFIDA) is a federal law enacted in 1978 that requires foreign individuals, companies, and governments to report their interests in U.S. agricultural land. The law was created in response to growing concerns in the 1970s about transparency in land ownership and its implications for food security and national interest.
