Pierre Thiam : A forgotten ancient grain that could help Africa prosper

Pierre Thiam at TED2017
A forgotten ancient grain that could help Africa prosper  (transcript)
Summary
While reading this story, I thought about the Japanese staple food that the grain is rice called "Kome" in Japanese. "Kome"  is also frightened by coming from Europe and the U.S. are best like bread, past and so on.  The speaker also said that, however, the problem of the food is not just lacking or remaining but employment, job, and prosper of the city and country.  It leads to the challenge whether we can live or not and that all regions have to tackle.

In Senegal, the speaker recovered fonio when he wrote his cookbook while traveling.
In the past, fonio was eaten by wide areas of Africa because fonio which is highly nutritious could grow in the desert of Africa with poor soil and very little water. It's called miracle grain, however, it's disappeared from the urban Senegalese diet because processing is heard when it's compared to other grain but people think that coming from the west is best.
However, technology has evolved, a Senegalese engineer received a prize for his invention of the first fonio processor machine, African rice is hailed abroad and gluten-free that fonio has is faced in the world.
There are undeveloped areas for agriculture in the ruler of Senegal where young people lost their lives to go to Europe.
A forgotten ancient grain "fonio" must help Africa.
