Here is an article I read last week regarding the meeting with Biden. I have copied the section about Food security below.

Food SecurityThe Biden-Harris Administration has prioritized global food security through increased agricultural trade. The United States has partnered with Angola to increase food security and climate resilience through building capacity and expanding investment in supply port of Angola's agriculture development and economic diversification goals.
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture will lead the first-ever U.S. agribusiness trade mission to Angola with over 60 individuals representing U.S. companies and agricultural organizations in early February. This mission will promote U.S. agricultural trade and regional food security investments with Angolan partners. U.S. trade mission participants will meet with potential private sector buyers, and engage industry trade experts.
- USAID has provided $13.3 million in 2022 and 2023 in emergency assistance to three southern Angolan provinces affected by the 2022 drought. The program has screened over 500,000 children for acute malnutrition and treated 121,000 for moderate to severe malnutrition.
- Through a $5 million Gender Equality and Equality Action Fund project, USAID will support agricultural development along the Lobito Corridor, focusing on linking women smallholder farmers to value chains that will use the rail line as a critical component of sustainability of the corridor project.
