Did you know....

...that the global population will increase by about 100 million people a year up to 2028? The potato is going to play an increasingly important role in feeding all these extra mouths. Potatoes use relatively little land, grow fairly quickly and are more climate-proof than most other crops. Furthermore, 85% of the potato plant is edible.
