Enset plant (Ensete ventricosum) for socio-economic and environmental uses in Gurage area of Ethiopia

Enset plant is cultivated as a food crop in Africa and Ethiopia largely. Enset can be grown with other crops as inter-cropping. Populations dependent upon the enset could not suffer from famine and drought due to the existence of the enset plant. The main objective of this study was to show the soci...
