The ownership of one Moringa tree can make an enormous difference to a family’s livelihood. Moringa could virtually wipe out malnutrition. The countries with the highest rates of malnutrition are almost all the same countries where Moringa grows best and exactly where it is needed the most. We know that Moringa represents a superior option for battling the effects of malnutrition in impoverished areas. Most people agree that hunger, existing on a large scale, is unacceptable. In prosperous countries many people are prepared to give money or do voluntary work. For decades development aid has been given with mixed results. For example, Western organisations import vitamin pills or nutrition bars to problem areas. In the short term it can be a solution. It is however, not a long term solution for chronic food shortages. To know which aid is really durable, it is good to look at the potential that is already available in developing and third world countries. Moringa is a very simple and readily available solution to the problem of malnutrition. Mitigation of Climate Change Effects For hundreds of millions of people the threat of famine is connected to the change of the climate. The planting of the Moringa tree, can play one important role in mitigating the effects of climate change.
