Forgot the link:Potatoes to Feed a Hungry World
excerpt:As food prices continue to soar in the wake of bio fuels and increasing gas prices, potatoes have taken their place in offsetting this economic strain.

Rice, wheat, and corn have all gone up in price, causing poor countries to flinch at the rising costs and pull back from purchasing as much as before. So many have begun to think up a new way to handle the situation by switching over to a much more economically and environmentally friendly substitute—the potato.
