The primary qualities of white sapote for food security in a changing climate:
-tolerates Central American summer heat
-drought tolerant
-pest resistant
-Certain cultivars produce fruit at different times of the year / not seasonally dependent.
The fruit has a short shelf-life so these benefits would only be for personal or locally grown produce.
