![](/fileadmin/user_upload/mediacatalogue/audio/images/small_PotatoRwanda.jpg)
The International Year of the Potato (IYP) in 2008 was a celebration of one of humanity's most important and universally loved staple foods. It has raised awareness of the potato's fundamental importance as a staple food of humanity. But it also had a very practical aim: to promote development of sustainable potato-based systems that enhance the wellbeing of producers and consumers and help realize the potato's full potential as a ?food of the future?.
Mr Juvénal Kabirigi is National Coordinator of cross-border food security (Northern and Southern provinces, Rwanda) and an Irish potato expert. The commodity chain and marketing of the produce are his main priorities.
