1. Cassava, the Queen of the Tropics

Notas do episódio

EN Cassava is our first victim. Or are we its first victims? We will discuss what it is, how do we eat it, what forms of agriculture harvest it, the importance of biodiversity and of plant adaptation to migrant communities. Are we good with that?
