Voice1: We know that potatoes can grow in many different places. But potato plants are also able to succeed where other plants cannot. Potato plants grow quickly. They do not use a lot of land. And potato plants can grow in severe climates better than other crops can. Because of these things, experts believe that potatoes can help stop poverty in many communities.
声音1：我们知道土豆可以在许多不同的地方生长。但是土豆植株也能够在其他植物不能生长的地方成功生长。土豆植株长得很快。它们使用的土地不多。而且土豆植株比其他作物更易于在恶劣的气候条件下生长。正因为如此，专家们相信土豆可以帮助许多社区消除贫困。
Voice2: Potatoes also produce more food than other crops do. The UN says 85 percent of the potato plant is food that people can eat. Other crops do not produce that much. People can only eat about 50 percent of grain crops. What remains is waste.
声音2：土豆也比其他作物生产更多的食物。联合国表示，85%的土豆植株是人们可以食用的食物。其他作物的产量就没有那么多了。人们只能吃大约50%的谷类作物。其余的就是废弃物。
Voice1: So, potatoes can grow many places worldwide. And they can feed the hungry. But they are also very healthy for people to eat! That is the third reason the UN wants people to know more about potatoes.

These substances are also necessary for a healthy body.

Voice1: Finally, the UN wants people to know more about potatoes because demand for these vegetables is growing! The UN has noticed a pattern in worldwide production of potatoes. In the last ten years world potato production has continued to increase. There seems to be no sign that this will change.
声音1：最后，联合国之所以希望人们更多地了解土豆，是因为人们对土豆的需求正在增长！联合国已经注意到全球土豆生产的一种模式。在过去的十年里，世界土豆产量持续增长。似乎没有迹象表明这种情况会改变。
