Explore patterns of foreign ownership of U.S. farmland with this interactive mapping tool, built from data reported under the Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act (AFIDA). The tool provides a county-level view of foreign-held farmland, cropland, pastureland, and forestland, broken down by country of ownership.
Users can:
• Visualize land ownership trends across the United States at the county level.
• View data by land type (cropland, pasture, forest, other agricultural uses).
• Compare ownership across different countries and regions.
• Identify counties with the highest levels of foreign-held acreage.
