| dc.description | Tigray Region and North Wollo Zone (in Amhara Region) are among the most drought-prone areas of Ethiopia, and a proportion of households in these areas depend on food and cash assistance for their survival. Wild edible cactus grows abundantly in these parts of the country, and can be used to address human and livestock needs. However, the development and utilization of this crop was limited by inadequate management, and communities’ lack of awareness of how cactus dishes could be prepared. Unlike cactus, the presence of fruit trees was very rare in both areas, even though they had great potential to produce various fruits. The project aimed to address problems that constrained the development of fruit and the use of cactus in these areas, in order to improve food security, boost incomes and generate employment. | |
