Harris Vows US Support for African Agriculture

African farmers can expect support from the U.S. to help develop the continent's agricultural industry by making it more "resilient" against climate change.

The commitment came from U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris who addressed the media during her stop at Panuka farm in the town of Chibombo in Zambia's central province.

"We, through that work, know that we can then help farmers decide where to plant their crops, when to plant their crops, how to predict the upcoming growing season in a way they plant crops that are resilient to, or can adapt to, whatever that climate might be predicted to be," Harris said.
