False banana and garri the wonder foods that can feed the world.
Africa is so blessed with resources . The game of numbers is on our side, with the teeming population you have a wide market to sell your products.
This population is segmented as it were with the vast majority living just below the poverty line and many more very poor.
The estimated population of 9.8 billion by 2050 is an indication that all hands must be on deck to feed the world. The impact of climate change on food production is another indication for the need to find new innovative ways to feed the world.
Climate change is predicted to seriously affect yields and distribution of staple food crops across Africa and beyond. The need to look at new plants or using existing staples to provide new products to feed the world is a necessity.
This is the story of Ethiopia's Enset and garri both are wonder crops that can feed the world. Enset is a staple in Ethiopia, where around 20 million people rely on it for food, Garri is food to over 800 million people in the world.
Enset or "false banana" is a close relative of the banana, but is consumed only in one part of Ethiopia. The banana-like fruit of the plant is inedible, but the starchy stems and roots can be fermented and used to make porridge and bread
Garri made from cassava is also fermented and can be used to make bread, porridge as well as other delicious products.
Imagine using garri instead of wheat? think of the forex that will be preserved. Think of how the SDG goals of zero hunger,no poverty and decent work and economic growth will be achieved. Read more about garri

AGRIBUSINESS:Should tomatoes go in the fridge?
Should tomatoes be in the fridge or kept at room temperature? Researchers investigated whether there are differences in the flavor of ripe tomatoes depending on how they are stored, taking into account the chain of harvesting from farm to fork.
"It is the variety of tomato in particular that has an important influence on the flavour. Therefore, the development of new varieties with an appealing flavour can be a step towards improving the flavour quality of tomatoes," says Larissa Kanski, lead author of the study.

AGRIBUSINESS MANAGEMENT: THE BUSINESS OF AGRICULTURE.
The business angle of agriculture is agribusiness and the skills and tools necessary to ensure success in agriculture is the management of your business components. The success of any business depends on finding a gap and filling it completely.
This means you find an opening,a gap, a need that will improve lives of people. The business is also to promote economic growth apart from satisfying a need /want in your environment .
Business= finding a need/want/gap = fill it by providing the #product /#service/goods= #reward=#wealth.
This is also true in agriculture,find a gap/supply what is needed and make money.
The story of ECHBEE FOODS,is not different we found a gap in the cassava/garri value chain and we filled it.
Echbee Foods discovered that children under 5 were prone to malnutrition and vitamin A deficiency due to poor feeding associated with poverty and lack of knowledge of what to mix to provide a balanced ration.

AgriProtein, a startup produce maggots from waste to feed animals.
A growing population, scarce water and land resources, and declining natural fish stocks make this more critical than ever.
Industrial farming of chickens, pigs and fish relies on protein from two sources: land-based grains and marine captured fish meal.
Agricultural protein requires vast amounts of land and water, while the sea-caught alternative has material consequences for marine life. Increased global food demand and environmental limits have caused prices of both protein sources to soar in recent years.
AgriProtein ,a startup grows maggots from waste to feed animals. AgriProtein is leading a new industry called nutrient recycling.
It is a business that grows maggots from waste collected from markets,farms, households and businesses. The maggots are processed into a highly nutritious protein supplement that substitutes fish meal in animal feed.
Using fly larvae fed on existing organic waste, AgriProtein has developed and tested a new large scale and sustainable source of natural protein.
The bio-conversion process takes organic waste streams from food factories, supermarkets, farms and restaurants, and recycles these into valuable products: an insect based complete protein – MagMeal™, an extracted fat – MagOil™ and a rich residual soil conditioner – MagSoil™. Agriprotein.
