Surpassing Staples: Cassava’s Dominance in Energy Productivity
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a vital tropical crop, recognized for its significant contribution to global food security and energy production. Cassava is grown mostly in Africa, where it makes up 65% of global production, with an annual output of about 315 million tons spread across 30 million hectares. Nigeria is a prominent producer, accounting for as much as 20% of the total. Cassava, which is high in carbs and grows well in poor soil, is an essential food source for more than 800 million people, especially in rural regions. Beyond just being used for human consumption, it is also utilized to make commercial starch, animal feed, and biodegradable polymers.[1]Cassava is also used in a variety of industrial products and traditional medicine.[2] The ability of cassava to withstand drought, which enables it to thrive in marginal and nutrient-depleted soils, is one of its most impressive characteristics. Its low production costs and resilience in diverse environments enhance its significance in food security. However, viral infections like Cassava Mosaic Disease (CMD) and Cassava Brown Streak Disease (CBSD) frequently hinder its production and can result in large output losses.[3] It is very beneficial for us in future because increasing population is a major issue and the main concern is to provide food(energy) to people and fulfill their other or basic needs. With the exception of sugarcane, cassava has excellent energy yield under ideal circumstances, competing with other important staple crops.This potential is best demonstrated by the Patia Valley in Cauca, Colombia, which benefits from ideal weather conditions that increase cassava yield. In conclusion, cassava is a crucial component in addressing food security and energy sustainability due to its remarkable output potential and resistance. Cassava has the potential to greatly improve smallholder farmers' livelihoods and contribute to the world's food supply by overcoming socioeconomic barriers and utilizing upgraded agricultural technologies[4]
