We want to celebrate the International Day of Potato May 30th by giving back to the community and raise awareness of the many. Potato trucks will be parked in the Taber Civic Centre parking lot from 1-4pm to allow all community members to bring an empty bag and fill it with fresh potatoes supplied by local potato growers. This event was declared by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations back in July of 2023.
Potato is a crop that contributes to better agricultural production, better nutrition for people, a better environment and life
The potato is a crop of enormous global significance
Through its widespread cultivation and consumption, the crop contributes to key objectives, such as achieving zero hunger, promoting sustainable agriculture and advancing economic opportunities. Potatoes are not just a staple in the diets of many people but also provide key opportunities for employment and sustainable economic growth along their value chains.
