Voice 1: It all began in November, 2005. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations met together. This group works to defeat hunger in every part of the world. At the meeting, the Permanent Representative of Peru proposed an idea. He wanted the world to know more about a special food. He believed this food could provide food security and help to stop poverty. He suggested that the United Nations devote a whole year to this amazing vegetable.

Voice 2: The potatoes we eat are a part of the root of the potato plant. These roots grow into the round shaped tubers we eat. There are thousands of different kinds of potatoes throughout the world. They come in many sizes, shapes and colours. Potatoes contain many good substances people’s bodies need to work. For example, potatoes are high in carbohydrates. Carbohydrates provide the human body with energy.
