30 May is International Potato Day; a chance to celebrate one of the world’s favourite and most versatile veggies. But this day isn’t just about chips and mash. It’s also about recognising the potato’s power to help us eat better and live more sustainably.
Potatoes are easy to grow, packed with nutrients, and can be cooked a hundred different ways. Even better, growing your own is a simple way to cut down on your carbon footprint. You don’t need a big garden; just a pot, a bit of compost, and some patience.
By skipping the packaging, transport and chemicals that often come with supermarket spuds, you’re doing both your health and the planet a favour.
Growing your own food helps tackle climate change and builds a better connection with what’s on your plate. And as we explain in this article, changing your food habits is one of the most powerful climate actions you can take!
So why not celebrate International Potato Day by planting a few spuds? It’s fun, rewarding, and a small step towards a greener, healthier lifestyle.
