Friedberg warns malnourishment is currently increasing globally after thirty years of decline.
“Right now, we are on the wrong side of the malnourishment curve. Malnourishment is increasing on Earth.”
Friedberg notes potatoes are the third largest calorie source globally, with 90-95% of India's crop for direct consumption.
“potatoes are a very significant staple crop, third largest source of calories for humans on Earth. 95% or 90% of the potato grown in India, for example, are used in table potatoes.”
