Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday travelled down a dirt road to tour a farm outside Zambia's capital that's using new techniques and technology to boost its vegetable crop as she highlighted ways to secure food supplies in an age of global warming.

"It's an example of what can be done around the world," she said after walking past rows of peppers and inspecting a drip irrigation system.Unlike in the United States, where conversations about climate change usually revolve around replacing fossil fuels with clean energy, the focus in Africa is on expanding access to food.

It's the biggest-ticket item that Harris has announced, but more work will be needed to follow through. The politics of climate change are complicated in Africa, which has contributed far less to overall greenhouse gas emissions than richer corners of the world such as the United States. According to the International Energy Agency, 43% of Africans didn't have access to electricity in 2021, and recent outages have caused frustration.
