International Year of the Potato 2008

All the other tubers are going to be jealous of this one. Yup. This year - 2008 - has been designated as 'Year of the Potato' By the United Nations.

From the website: "The International Year of the Potato is raising awareness of the key role played by the "humble tuber" in agriculture, the economy and world food security. But it also has a very practical aim: to promote development of sustainable potato-based systems that enhance the well-being of producers and consumers and help realize the potato's full potential as a "food of the future".

Enjoy your tubers!
