America Does Not Need to Buy Food from China – It Needs to Back Its Own Farmers

For decades, the U.S. has allowed foreign nations—particularly China—to infiltrate its food supply chain. At the same time, American farmers have faced crushing regulations, corporate monopolies, and policies that prioritize globalism over national food security. The billboard in the image delivers a powerful truth: America does not need to buy food from China. America needs to support its own farmers.

So why are we outsourcing food production to foreign nations when we have some of the most fertile farmland in the world? Why is China buying up American agricultural land while small U.S. farmers struggle to survive? This issue isn’t just about food—it’s about national security, economic independence, and the survival of local communities.

The Dangerous Dependence on Foreign Food

The United States imports billions of dollars worth of food from China every year, including seafood, fruits, vegetables, and processed ingredients used in countless American products. This reliance on foreign food sources creates several serious problems:

✔ Food Safety Risks – China has a history of tainted food scandals, illegal additives, and pesticide overuse. The lack of regulatory oversight means that much of what is imported into the U.S. could pose health risks.

✔ Loss of Food Sovereignty – The more we rely on foreign nations for food, the less control we have over our own food supply. This makes America vulnerable to geopolitical conflicts and supply chain disruptions.

✔ Economic Dependence – Instead of keeping wealth within our own agricultural communities, we send billions overseas, further weakening American farming.

✔ Questionable Farming Practices – China’s use of synthetic fertilizers, GMOs, and unsustainable farming methods should be a red flag for consumers who care about food quality.

Why is the richest farming nation in the world buying food from a country with questionable agricultural standards and food safety regulations?

China’s Land Grab: Buying Up American Farmland

If outsourcing food production to China wasn’t concerning enough, consider this: China is actively buying up U.S. farmland and food processing plants.

✔ As of recent reports, Chinese entities own hundreds of thousands of acres of U.S. farmland.
✔ Smithfield Foods, America’s largest pork producer, is now owned by a Chinese company.
✔ The U.S. government has allowed foreign land purchases near military bases and critical infrastructure, raising national security concerns.

Why is this allowed? Why is America selling its farmland to a country that could weaponize food supply chains? When foreign entities own large portions of agricultural land, they control what gets produced, who benefits, and how food is distributed. This is not just about business—it’s about national security.

Meanwhile, American Farmers Are Being Crushed

While China and multinational corporations dominate the U.S. food system, small and independent American farmers are being suffocated by regulations, corporate monopolies, and economic policies that favor industrial agriculture over family-owned farms.

✔ Corporate Monopolies: A handful of agribusiness giants like Monsanto (Bayer), Cargill, and Tyson control seed distribution, processing plants, and even the pricing of goods—leaving farmers with little negotiating power.

✔ Government Overreach: Strict regulations, environmental policies, and taxes make it difficult for small farmers to compete. While foreign companies exploit loopholes, American farmers are burdened with excessive red tape.

✔ Land and Water Restrictions: Farmers are losing access to essential resources due to government-enforced restrictions that prioritize urban expansion and foreign land deals over local agriculture.

✔ Inflation and Rising Costs: Fuel, fertilizer, and feed costs have skyrocketed, making it nearly impossible for small farmers to stay profitable while competing with massive factory farms.

Globalism vs. Food Independence: Who Benefits?

Globalists argue that importing food from China and other foreign nations is part of a “globalized food economy” that makes food more affordable. But at what cost? Who really benefits from outsourcing American food production?

✔ Big corporations profit by using cheap labor and resources abroad while selling overpriced food to American consumers.
✔ Foreign governments like China gain economic and strategic leverage over the U.S. food supply.
✔ Politicians and lobbyists push globalist policies that enrich corporate donors while destroying local farming communities.

Meanwhile, everyday Americans lose access to clean, locally-grown food and become dependent on a system that prioritizes profit over nutrition and food security.

How to Take Back Control: Supporting American Farmers

America does not need to depend on China or any foreign nation for food. We have the land, the resources, and the farmers to sustain our own people—but it requires a shift in priorities.

✔ Buy Directly from Farmers – Shop at farmers’ markets, join Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs, and purchase directly from local farms instead of relying on corporate grocery chains.

✔ Demand Policy Changes – Support policies that protect American farmland from foreign ownership, reduce regulatory burdens on small farmers, and promote regenerative agriculture.

✔ Reject Globalist Food Systems – Avoid imported, ultra-processed foods that contribute to the globalist food agenda. Opt for organic, pasture-raised, and non-GMO alternatives from U.S. farmers.

✔ Educate Others on Food Security – Spread awareness about the dangers of foreign food dependency and the importance of supporting local agriculture.

✔ Grow Your Own Food – Even small-scale gardening can reduce dependence on foreign food imports and strengthen local food resilience.

Final Thoughts: The Future of American Food Is in Our Hands

The message on the billboard isn’t just a slogan—it’s a call to action. America does not need China’s food. What America needs is a return to self-reliance, strong local agriculture, and policies that protect our farmers, not foreign investors.

If we don’t wake up now, who will control our food in the future? Will we continue to allow foreign nations to dictate what we eat, or will we stand up for food independence and the survival of American farming?

The choice is ours—but time is running out. Support American farmers. Reject globalist food control. Take back food sovereignty before it’s too late.
