Imagine if we got our veggies from trees just like we do our fruits. This thought
has been at the back of my mind through this summer while working with organic
vegetable farmers during this unprecedented drought.
I realised that almost all the vegetables we want come from cultivated one-season
crops that require a considerable amount of water and care and are vulnerable to pests,
diseases and climate variations.
We expect these seasonal plants to provide vegetables consistently the year around: be
it potatoes, tomatoes, okra, beans, gourds or cool seasonal veggies. Maybe it's time to
think differently.
We, in the south of India, are fortunate to have many trees with edible fruits. In fact,
during my childhood in Kerala, the role of tree-based vegetables was significant. [...]
Summer food at my paternal grandparents' home revolved around jackfruits, mangoes,
grapefruit and breadfruit - raw, cooked, roasted, preserved or fried!
Once irrigation and transportation across long distances made other vegetables easily
available, we began to ignore what was available in our backyards. It is time for us to
seriously re-look some of these tree-based veggies and uncultivated greens.
