Скачать или смотреть This Plant Ends Seasonal Hunger — That’s Why It Disappeared

Cassava is one of the most resilient food crops ever domesticated — a drought-tolerant root that thrives in poor soil, stores itself underground, and feeds more than 800 million people worldwide. Yet in much of the modern world, it remains almost completely unknown. Not because it failed, but because it never fit the industrial model of agriculture.

In this video, we explore how cassava sustained entire civilizations through drought, famine, and crisis — and why it was gradually pushed out of Western farming and forgotten by modern gardeners. You’ll learn what cassava is, how it grows, why it survives when other crops fail, and how it can become one of the most reliable sources of calories in a changing climate.

We’ll also look at the traditional knowledge that made cassava safe and sustainable, including the processing methods developed over thousands of years to remove its natural toxins and turn it into a long-lasting, versatile food. From its origins in the Amazon to its spread across Africa and Asia, cassava’s story reveals how ancient food systems were designed for resilience, not profit — and why rediscovering them matters now more than ever.

As weather becomes more unpredictable and food systems more fragile, crops like cassava offer a different path: one based on independence, durability, and local knowledge rather than constant inputs and global supply chains. This isn’t just a forgotten crop — it’s a forgotten way of thinking about food.
