 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.

False banana(Enset) the wonder crop from Africa that can feed the world.

 Africa is blessed with a lot of staple foods that can promote food security. The need for innovative solutions to turn these ordinary food is very crucial for growth and development. 

  False banana ,Ethiopia's enset  commonly referred to as wonder crop. Scientists say the plant enset, an Ethiopian staple, could be a new super food and a lifesaver in the face of climate change.

     

The banana-like crop has the potential to feed more than 100 million people in a warming world, according to a new study.

The plant is almost unknown outside of Ethiopia, where it is used to make porridge and bread.  Research suggests the crop can be grown over a much larger range in Africa.

"This is a crop that can play a really important role in addressing food security and sustainable development," said Dr Wendawek Abebe of Hawassa University in Awasa, Ethiopia.

Enset is a staple in Ethiopia, where around 20 million people rely on it for food, but elsewhere it has not been cultivated, although wild relatives - which are not considered edible - grow as far south as South Africa, suggesting the plant can tolerate a much wider range.

Using agricultural surveys and modelling work, scientists predicted the potential range of enset over the next four decades. They found the crop could potentially feed more than 100 million people and boost food security in Ethiopia and other African countries, including Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda.

Study researcher Dr James Borrell, of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, said planting enset as a buffer crop for lean times could help boost food security.

"It's got some really unusual traits that make it absolutely unique as a crop," he said. "You plant it at any time, you harvest it at any time and it's perennial. That's why they call it the tree against hunger."
