The Tree Against Hunger |
 | | The Gurage (Figure 2.2) identify themselves as "people of enset" (Shack, 1966), and are one of the ethnic groups that depend upon enset as their main staple. |
 | | All Gurage in the PA studied have an enset-dominated farming system, although there are differences between wealthier and poorer households in terms of the types and amounts of cash crops and enset, and the management of enset (Figures 10.2 and 10.3). |
 | | Between ethnic groups where enset is a staple (Gurage and Sidama) and a co-staple for some of the population (the wealthier households among the Hadiya) there are differences in many aspects of enset cultivation (clonal variation, plant spacing, disease prevalence, and manuring) and processing (tools and starter used, location, size, and disease of pits). |
