| June 17, 2010 |  | Finally!
Proudly we introduce the new design of the PotatoPro Newsletter, also distributed from a different E-mail distribution platform. Ideally, we would not want to bother you with this, but we want you to review whether you receive all mailings that are important for you. And here we have made some changes. We now send out:
1) The PotatoPro Newsletter
2) News Update English (Daily)
3) News Update Spanish (Weekly)
4) News Update Dutch (Weekly) |
| March 10, 2010 |  | Last week the European Commission approved cultivation and processing of the genetically modified starch potato Amflora. The request for authorisation was submitted by Amflora's developer BASF in August 1996, more than 13 years ago!

| February 23, 2010 |  | Earlier this month the United States Department of Agriculture's Economical Research Service (USDA-ERS) published a new tool that I wanted to share with you today: the Food Environment Atlas.
The Food Environment Atlas brings together a series of maps on a wide range of food and health related topics and presents this wealth of data in a very intuitive way. You can find information such as: food stores (access, proximity, types of stores), restaurants, food prices, food eaten at home, food assistance, physical activity, health information and a range of socio-economic factors. |
