No, seriously. Marie Antoinette riffs and Irish potato famine worries aside, potatoes can offer the developing world an important food alternative as grain prices rise.
Their prices stay steady because potatoes’ heavy weight means they aren’t globally transshipped in quantity. They take less water than wheat, let alone corn. And, they’re not used for biofuels.
Some developing countries are already getting on the bandwagon.
