Das Potenzial von Kartoffeln erschließen: Aufbau nachhaltiger Lebensmittelsysteme

#Potatoes #SustainableAgriculture #FoodSecurity #GlobalNutrition #FAOPublications #SustainableDevelopmentGoals #InternationalPotatoDay #InnovationinAgriculture #GeneticDiversity #AgriculturalSustainability The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) underscores the significance of sustainable potato production, emphasizing its ability to strengthen the fundamental pillars of food security, namely availability, access, utilization, and stability. Due to their rich genetic diversity and current production and demand, research and innovation in tuber cultivation can contribute to sustainable agri-food systems and help achieve zero hunger and meet the Sustainable Development Goals. Potatoes, a staple food for the global population, are rich in carbohydrates, making them a primary source of energy. They also contain various micronutrients, including B vitamins, vitamin C, folic acid, potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium. Potatoes are an essential food in the global food system and play a critical role in strengthening global food security and reducing poverty. As recalled, 2008 marked the International Year of the Potato (IYP) for being one of the most important staple foods universally appreciated by humanity. In December 2023, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) endorsed Peru's proposal to annually celebrate International Potato Day on May 30. In anticipation of this global campaign to raise awareness and inspire action, consult the following selection of FAO publications on potatoes...

DuPont: Kartoffelknollenmotte macht Fortschritte im Mittelmeerraum

DuPont: Kartoffelknollenmotte macht Fortschritte im Mittelmeerraum

Potato Tuber Moth (Phthorimaea operculella) populations are on the increase across southern Europe, particularly around Mediterranean basin, and are likely to lead to significant in-store losses and threaten the trade of infected tubers. This is the warning from DuPont following its monitoring of pest populations for the past three years. “We have seen a significant increase in Potato Tuber Moth populations and in-store damage since we started our monitoring,” says the company’s Giuseppe Ceparano. “Our pest traps have highlighted that the moth is rapidly becoming a significant pest of potatoes in the warmer growing regions such as Turkey, Greece, Italy and Egypt. However, we have also seen the pest moving steadily northwards with reports that it has now reached as far as the south of France.” Damage caused by the Potato Tuber Moth can make potatoes coming out of store unsaleableWhile the damage caused to foliage doesn’t normally reduce yields, infestation of tubers can lower or totally erase their value. Infested potatoes are unmarketable for either the fresh market or processing purposes, and if left untreated, damage to stored potatoes can be severe or total. “The best control is achieved by managing the pest in the field, so the number...

Furthermore, the Joint Declaration explores how new markets and better food recovery can contribute to economic growth. Lending his support to the initiative, Matthias Groote MEP, Chair of the...

In Großbritannien bauen Sie Ihre eigenen Kartoffeln an: Abgeordnete helfen bei der Ernte

In Großbritannien bauen Sie Ihre eigenen Kartoffeln an: Abgeordnete helfen bei der Ernte

Children across the United Kingdom have been harvesting new potato crops as part of the Potato Council’s primary school project, Grow Your Own Potatoes. Keen to observe educational activity in their constituencies, local MPs have been taking time out see how the project is influencing youngsters about food and farming. Seven visits took place, including former farming minister Sir Jim Paice MP who joined pupils at Little Thetford C of E Primary as they unearthed their ‘Casablanca’ potatoes. Similarly, local MP Sir Roger Gale made the trip to Chartfield School, Kent to help excited pupils harvest plants alongside local grower and Potato Ambassador Matt Spanton. Head of marketing and corporate affairs, Caroline Evans, said: “We’re delighted in the growing interest from MPs in the work the potato industry is doing to boost awareness amongst young children. “The Grow Your Own Potatoes initiative encourages children to take a hands-on approach as they learn how food is produced. The project also successfully assists youngsters learning about a healthy balanced diet and instils positive eating habits that will stay with them as they grow. Both of these are very much part of the Government’s educational and healthy eating agenda.” Sir Jim Paice MP...

Sainsbury's unterstützt Kartoffelerzeuger während des feuchtesten Sommers in Großbritannien seit 100 Jahren

Sainsbury’s has relaxed the product specification of Scottish potatoes to support farmers through one of the toughest seasons. The run of wet weather this season has left many Scottish farmers with crops of smaller potatoes with increased blemishes and scarring. Varieties including Osprey, Maris Piper, Desiree and King Edward have all had smaller sized potatoes than normal years – however Sainsbury’s and Albert Bartlett have worked together to utilise the crop and include these in bags of spuds on the retailer’s shelves. Without compromising on taste, Sainsbury’s has also permitted the inclusion of ‘growth cracked’ potatoes in the basics range to help farmers utilise as much of the crop as possible and avoid reliance on imported produce. Julien Roberts, Sainsbury’s potato buyer said: “Our farmers across the UK have had a really challenging season due to the weather, that’s why we’ve committed to make use of all potatoes and other veg that meets regulations and stands up on taste.” “Customers might have noticed their spuds are smaller than usual, so despite a bit of extra cooking prep to serve up two baked potatoes rather than one they will taste just as good.” Sainsbury’s has been working with Albert Bartlett since...

Frau sagt, sie habe Schlange in einer Tüte Kartoffeln gefunden

Frau sagt, sie habe Schlange in einer Tüte Kartoffeln gefunden

A Pennsylvania woman received quite a surprise in a bag of potatoes she purchased from a local Walmart store. Bonnie Raygor said that what she thought was a bad potato turned out to be a live, 3 1/2-foot snake. Raygor purchased the potatoes a week ago, but didn't open the bag until she went to cook dinner on Thursday evening. "First I saw its underbelly, which is white. I thought I had a bad potato. Instead I had a snake,"said Raygor. "The bag was sealed. The only thing that's in it are little holes. So I'm assuming it was in there when I bought it. I screamed." Raygor and her daughter-in-law put the snake inside a reptile enclosure she had from previous pets and then called Walmart. Upon calling the store she was told to bring the snake to the lawn and garden department where they would take care of it. Unhappy with their response she called and spoke with a manager. "He said if I had a receipt, I could get a refund. And that was the extent,"Raygor said.

Fünfzig Jahre Versuche mit Kartoffelsamen durch die Partnerschaft in Washington

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the partnership between the Washington State Potato Commission (WSPC) and Washington State University (WSU) for potato seed lot trials. The anniversary will be celebrated on June 27, 2013 during the annual Potato Field day at WSU’s Othello Research Station. Each year WSU’s Othello Research Station is home to hundreds of trial plots of potato seed samples. The different varieties of seed are grown and monitored for quality factors such as disease, virus, herbicide and other potential damages. As most of Washington’s commercial potato growers typically purchase their seed potatoes from seed-growing regions outside of the area, the trials also provides a venue where both the seed producers and growers can view how the seed varieties perform in eastern Washington. “What makes this event significant is not that it is just celebrating 50-years, but that it is a leading example of the type of success that industry and the university sector can have when they work together,” said Dr. Mark Pavek Associate Professor and Potato Extension and Research Specialist for Washington State University. “Potato seeds are a living organism and as such are susceptible to a wide range of disease and viruses. These trials...

Der Kartoffelanbau auf Prince Edward Island ist ein Familienunternehmen

Der Kartoffelanbau auf Prince Edward Island ist ein Familienunternehmen

Potato farming in Prince Edward Island continues to be primarily the domain of family owned and operated farms. 99% of potato farms in PEI are owned by farm families, with some of these families involved in growing potatoes for over 100 years! On many farms, multiple generations work side-by-side in all aspects of the farm operation. These farm families are committed to producing high quality, nutritious potatoes that are a staple of diets here in Atlantic Canada, as well as markets in the rest of Canada, the United States, and the rest of the world. At the same time, these farm families are employers in their local community, purchase inputs and services from local businesses, and generate a significant amount of economic activity in the province. In discussions on the topics of Land Protection and Land Use in Prince Edward Island, there has sometimes been a concern expressed over land ownership by “corporations.” In the potato industry, approximately 50% of farm operations are incorporated, due to the business benefits of incorporation. Nonetheless, these farm corporations are still overwhelmingly owned and operated by PEI farm families. Nathan Ching of Black Pond Farms Ltd. near Souris, PEI notes that their farm has...
