The consultative meeting of the Enset Project Consortium was organized by Salale University, College of Agriculture and Natural Resources in collaboration with Arba Minch University, Jimma University and the Federal Technical and Vocational Education and Training Institute (FTVEI).
The meeting brought together researchers, university staff, agricultural experts and other relevant stakeholders to discuss the potential of Enset and ways to promote its sustainable integration into local farming systems.

In his opening remarks Dean of the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Dr. Belew Bekele, stated that the consortium provides an important platform for consultation, knowledge and experience sharing and joint learning among researchers, university staff, agricultural experts, farmers and other stakeholders.

Dr. Belew emphasized that the objective goes beyond discussing the potential of Enset, noting that particular attention should be given to how its introduction can be carried out responsibly and sustainably within the existing farming systems of North Shewa.

During the session, the scholars presented a research paper focusing on Enset, followed by an extensive discussion and exchange of views and experiences among participants.
Participants and researchers also visited a research field, where they received practical demonstrations on corm preparation, propagation, corm burying and other Enset propagation techniques.

At the closing ceremony, Vice President for Academic and Research Affairs, Dr. Tsegaye Deyou, highlighted the significant role Enset can play in strengthening food security and providing balanced nutrition.

Furthermore, Dr. Tsegaye stated that Salale University will continue to strengthen its research and studies on Enset and contribute to generating knowledge that supports its sustainable production and utilization. He also called on relevant stakeholders to give special attention to collaborative efforts on Enset and provide the necessary support and follow-up to advance research, production and adoption.
