International Year of the Potato

This morning I was reading through my morning blog routine, and came across this tidbit of info. 2008 has been named the International Year of the Potato by the United Nations. “The celebration of the International Year of the Potato (IYP) will raise awareness of the importance of the potato—and of agriculture in general—in addressing issues of global concern, including hunger, poverty and threats to the environment.” You can find out more info here.
