According to Dr. FOWLER, she is in Zambia with her team to examine the country’s prospects for agricultural output and its initiatives to become the region’s main source of food.
The team is evaluating the effects of the Ukraine war in Africa, according to USAID’s Global Food Crisis Coordinator Bureau for Food Resilience and Food Security Acting Assistant to the Administrator DINA ESPOSITO.
