The 3,000-Year-Old Food That Never Needed Replanting - Why It Disappeared

In the Ethiopian highlands, families are still eating from the same plants their ancestors planted hundreds of years ago. Not seeds. Not fields. Living food. There is a crop there that never needed replanting. You harvest it, and it grows back. You wait years, and it keeps storing food underground. One root system can feed a family for generations. It may be the most famine-resistant food crop humans ever domesticated. It doesn’t grow in seasons. It doesn’t fail all at once. It isn’t harvested on schedule. It waits. Modern agriculture replaced it with crops that die every year. Crops that can fail all at once. Crops that turn food into a gamble. This is enset, known locally as the false banana. And as climate systems destabilize worldwide, it forces a question we were never meant to forget. This is the story of the perennial food system we abandoned.
