Planta uriașă din Etiopia care ar putea salva milioane de oameni de la foamete

Enset, known as the 'tree against hunger', feeds over 20 million Ethiopians but remains largely unknown outside East Africa. This drought-resistant plant, closely related to bananas, is not consumed for its inedible fruit but for its starchy stem and roots, which are processed into traditional foods. Despite its potential to feed over 100 million people, its global spread is hindered by cultural and technological barriers. The cultivation of enset is declining as farmers shift to more commercial crops, risking the loss of this vital resource.
