Horticulturist Diane Ragone advocates the breadfruit as a possible solution to hunger in the tropics. The breadfruit tree is native to the Pacific Islands and the fruit is starchy like the potato. When the breadfruit is cooked, the taste is similar to baked bread. Ragone is the director of the Breadfruit Institute at the National Tropical Botanical Garden in Hawaii.
