Really? I never realised that. According to the article on agriculture I posted, there was some very innovative farming in Tigray before the war, so if they ever get back on their feet perhaps they will see if they can war-proof crops.

Unfortunately though there was evidence during the war that the creation of famine was deliberate and systematic, so it's unlikely that any farming method would be affective against that in modern times.
