The USDA and the Department of War signed a memorandum of understanding to enhance collaboration on the National Farm Security Action Plan, launched in July 2025. The plan aims to secure American agriculture as a critical component of national security.

Key actions include establishing a new research partnership with DARPA and creating the Office of Research, Economic, and Science Security within USDA. The collaboration seeks to protect U.S. farmland from foreign threats, enhance domestic productivity, and address emerging security challenges.
