Researchers at Northwestern University have found that breadfruit, a starchy fruit native to Pacific islands, is remarkably resilient to climate change, requiring minimal water and fertilizer. This makes it a promising solution for feeding communities in regions most affected by global warming and extreme weather conditions.
Breadfruit, a versatile and nutritious food source originating from Southeast Asia, is gaining attention for its potential to improve food security and resilience against climate change, especially in regions like Sub-Saharan Africa. Agroforestry initiatives are promoting its cultivation worldwide, highlighting its benefits in diverse cropping systems and its adaptability to changing climate conditions, while emphasizing the importance of ethical considerations in its introduction to new environments.
