It appears the global food crisis can be averted. The solution? The humble potato.
That's the assertion of the International Potato Center in Lima, Peru. It held a conference this month about the potato being the "food of the future."
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has declared 2008 the International Year of the Potato to raise awareness of the tuber's importance in addressing global hunger, poverty, and threats to the environment.
