Abstract

Introduction - A large diversity of enset-based production systems exists in Ethiopia. Enset is cultivated in combination with multipurpose trees, coffee, vegetables (kale), root and tuber crops, and various cereals. In combination with roots and tubers, the cultivation of enset supports some of the most densely populated rural areas of Ethiopia. Problem statement - Enset is a starchy staple crop, high in carbohydrates, but low in vitamins and protein content. When enough enset plants are available on a farm, poor households do not go hungry, but their diets lack some essential nutrients. In general, most enset-based households can have a balanced diet, if they are able to supplement enset with protein from legumes and/or animal products. However, the very poor households tend to fall back on kocho, bean sauce, cabbage and taro, with little daily variation and low dietary diversity throughout the year. Recommendations - Sustainable intensification and diversification efforts are urgently needed to improve whole farm productivity and nutritional/dietary diversity in enset-based regions. In addition, research on food fortification and food supplementation of enset-based meals with nutrient-rich foods derived from, e.g., legumes and green leafy vegetables is urgently needed. The bioavailability and bio-efficacy of the enriched meals also need to be studied.
饮食多样性与不同类型脑室病的相关性研究以奶酪商为基础的生产系统
简介-埃塞俄比亚存在大量多样的基于enset的生产系统。Enset与多用途树木、咖啡、蔬菜(羽衣甘蓝)、块根和块茎作物以及各种谷物结合种植。与根和块茎相结合,enset的种植为埃塞俄比亚一些人口最稠密的农村地区提供了支持。问题陈述-Enset是一种淀粉类主食,碳水化合物含量高,但维生素和蛋白质含量低。当农场里有足够的enset植物时,贫困家庭不会挨饿,但他们的饮食缺乏一些必要的营养。一般来说,如果能够用豆类和/或动物产品中的蛋白质补充enset,大多数以enset为基础的家庭都可以有均衡的饮食。然而,非常贫困的家庭往往只吃kocho、豆酱、卷心菜和芋头,每天的变化很小,全年的饮食多样性也很低。建议-迫切需要可持续的集约化和多样化努力,以提高enset地区的整个农场生产力和营养/饮食多样性。此外,迫切需要研究豆类和绿叶蔬菜等营养丰富的食物对以enset为基础的膳食的食物强化和补充。强化膳食的生物利用度和生物功效也需要研究。
