This book presents an overview of the cultivation of the potato, pointing out some aspects in relation to its production, consumption and importance for consumer health. The aim is to offer a glimpse of the forest rather than the single tree, but not failing to focus on "a few trees". The approach is interdisciplinary, and in this sense the history and the climatic aspects that favour cultivation are highlighted first, ideally starting with contributions on the South-America and then moving eastwards, following the diffusion of the potato in the rest of the world. Some technological aspects are then tackled linked to cultivation, harvest, post-harvest, production and utilisation of potatoes. Lastly some aspects are dealt with, nutritional and not, relating to the importance of potatoes on the health of the consumer.

"Sustainable Food for the Globe, One Square Foot at a Time" came about in the strangest way. In August of 2012, the where two news items that caught my attention.The first was a challenge made by a group calling themselves "The B Team." The statement was made that business as usual is currently not working, nor taking care of the needs of the people in our planet. The challenge - that now is the time to modify our mindsets and take a look at what each individual can change to bring about a stronger, richer and more abundant Global community. Secondly, during that same time period, there where lots of comments made by so-called "experts," stating that the world would run out of food by the year 2050. What a paradox, on the one hand, a group of invigorated people ready to take a challenge and create a better world; and on the other hand "nay-sayers" stating that humankind would expire in less than 37 years due to mass starvation. As a gardener, both news items drew my attention. First, as someone who enjoys working with the earth, I am in awe of how a small seed put in a little bit of earth; tended to, making sure it has sun and water, can come out of the ground as a seedling and within a short period of time becomes a food-producing plant. So I started doing research on these two issues. What I found out about the "nay-sayers" group made me very angry and what I found out about the group making the challenge made me very hopeful. Thinking about these two issues made me search for simple yet effective answers; How to create worldwide food production in Abundance? So in this book I celebrate the first step of this journey; doing research, asking the first few questions of many -focusing on how are we going to deal with this mess? I invite you to ask questions and reflect on answers that might help our little bit of earth. I have a feeling that millions and millions of people working together can ensure worldwide food production in Abundance for our children, our families and communities where ever in the world they are found.
