Maximo Torero, FAO Chief Economist, shares a video message for the occasion of the global celebration of the International Day of the Potato, at the FAO FoodS Lab within the Food and Agriculture Museum and Network (FAO MuNe).
The theme for the third observance of the Day of the Potato, "Where potatoes grow, livelihoods flourish," highlights the vital role of potatoes in supporting the livelihoods of farmers and value chain actors around the world—from the Andean highlands, where the crop originated, to communities across Africa, Europe, Asia and beyond.
By promoting sustainable potato production and strengthening value chains, this remarkable crop contributes to poverty reduction, improved resilience and the development of more inclusive and sustainable agrifood systems.
