International Day of the Potato
Every year on 30 May, we spotlight the potato, a crop regularly consumed by billions of people. Potatoes are a key crop across agrifood systems globally, ranging from smallholders producing diverse heirloom varieties by hand in the Andes, to vast commercial, mechanized farms in different continents. As the third most available food crop globally, potatoes contribute to the food
security, livelihoods and employment of people in rural and urban areas the world over.
