“What took four days now only takes one hour.” Known as the ‘tree against hunger’, enset feeds 20 million people across Ethiopia. It is a vital plant in a country that experiences high levels of food insecurity. But for generations, preparing it has meant hours - even days - of painful work, which usually falls to women. Now, new technology is not only transforming the lives of those scraping the so-called ‘false banana’, but providing communities a means to earn and eat when money and food is scarce. 🎤 Reporters: Habtamu Tibebu and Mati Olana 🎞️ Edited by: Rhiannon Fitz-Gerald Subscribe: http://bit.ly/subscribetoafrica Website: https://www.bbc.com/africa Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bbcnewsafrica/ Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/bbcafrica/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bbcafrica/
