Enset plants closely resemble banana plants (Credit: James Borrell)

Extreme weather caused by global warming is expected to increasingly challenge the yields of conventional crops like corn, wheat, and soy. Small-scale farmers — who lack the resources to adapt to climate change — will be particularly hard hit. Scientists believe that the only way to combat this is by introducing new, hardier crops to what they're currently growing. That's where Ethiopia's enset, or "false banana," plant comes in.

                It does not look tasty at all ! But if there is a famine I guess it would be alright. But I think I would still like bananas more.
