Enset

Ensete

A member of the banana family, enset has been cultivated for tens of thousands of years in Ethiopia. Enset is incredibly space-efficient, feeding more people per square meter of crop than most cereals, a feat which has earned it the name “the tree against hunger.” Not only does enset feed millions of people every year, it is also highly resilient, able to withstand drought, heavy rain and flooding much better than many other crops.
