President Joe Biden has announced plans to form a US-backed team to help Kenya and other East African countries battle locusts invasions that compromise food security in the region.
A Bill filed before the US Congress seen by the Business Daily proposes to establish an interagency working group to develop “a comprehensive, strategic plan to control locust outbreaks in the East African region and address future outbreaks to avert mass-scale food insecurity and potential political destabilisation, and for other purposes.”
