🥔 Potatoes are a great source of vitamin C, potassium and dietary fibre.

But their nutritional value also depends on the variety, how they’re grown, stored, processed and cooked.

Global food systems depend heavily on just 9 crop species. But the decline of biodiversity impacts ecosystem functioning, food system resilience, food security and nutrition, as well as livelihoods, health, productivity and incomes.
