The TABI Project in Laos might provide some level of comfort for such food security concerns.\u00a0There is strong evidence that the high levels of natural diversity of plants and animals that are the foundation of much of Lao food provide a level of protection against such extreme temperatures.\u00a0Some varieties are naturally more resilient to weather extremes than others, and as such, a high diversity of naturally occurring plants in the farming landscape offer an improved level of food security than a system that is based only on the production of only a few species and varieties.\u00a0 Another win for the Lao cuisine!.<\/p>\n
