Administrator Power expressed the U.S. government’s concern about increasing challenges to global food security, resulting from Russia’s war on Ukraine, COVID-19, recurrent weather shocks, and climate change. The group discussed USAID’s partnership with Zambia to meet the needs and aspirations of its people and help alleviate food insecurity in Africa by increasing agricultural production and exports.
