Breadfruit Is Here to Save the World - Wired

Quick Summary:

This calorie-rich, nutrient-dense, and climate-resilient crop has the power to step in for more common staples that can’t handle global warming.

Breadfruit has also helped sustain Haitian families during trying times.“After the terrible earthquake of 2021, we were able to feed a large number of people with preserved breadfruit from our large warehouses,” Louis says.

But this, he believes, would be much more efficient than generating climate-adapted versions of existing staples.“In the US, we are spending hundreds of millions of dollars annually on corn research to make corn more tolerant to higher temperatures, but breadfruit is already adapted to higher temperatures, and many of the same products could be made from it,” Lincoln says.
