The International Potato Center (known by its Spanish acronym CIP) is a research-for-development organization with a focus on potato, sweet potato and Andean roots and tubers. CIP is dedicated to delivering sustainable solutions to the pressing world issues of hunger, poverty, gender equity, climate change and the preservation of Earth's biodiversity and natural resources.
In 2018 the International Potato Center (CIP) will launch a global campaign to raise awareness about the potato and its extraordinary value for humankind.
The world takes potatoes for granted. Since the early 1960s the growth in potato production has rapidly overtaken that of all other food crops in developing countries. It is a fundamental element in the food security for millions of people across South America, Africa and Asia. In Europe and North America is a multi-million dollar industry and it provides more food per unit of water than any other major crop, more nutrients and an excellent source of carbohydrates, calcium and vitamin C. Potatoes are produced in over 100 countries and global crop production exceeds 300 million metric tons.
Can you imagine a world without potatoes? This thought-provoking question will be asked to billions of consumers around the world who depend on the potato for food, nutrition and enjoyment. A campaign to raise awareness and help us understand that in the amazing biodiversity of the potato we can find answers to the challenges we face in the future such as climate change, food security and development.
For further information and to enroll in the campaign, please contact us: info@aworldwithoutpotatoes.com
Your organization can become the messenger of this call to action and join hundreds of others in an effort that will change how the world sees the potato.
