More TABLE TALK This table talk is about food security. This is a joint global challenge that varies from continent to continent. In Africa, we have to respond locally to the rapidly increasing demand for food. While in Europe this is decreasing and there is a need for healthy food and awareness of climate change. The demand for sustainable and healthy food is high. In order to contribute to this, we need suitable potato varieties. Breakout sessions During Potato Days 2020 Live there were multiple breakout sessions. A variety of short and inspiring presentations about trends or projects in the potato value chain. With speakers like Hugo Camos, Cedric Porter, Gerard van der Linden and many more. More Donation World Food Program During the event HZPC made a donation to the World Food Program. "This food program is close to our hearts”, said Gerard Backx, ceo of HZPC. “Worldwide, one in eight people are still hungry when they go to sleep. Local food supply is an important key to solving this distressing problem. We are doing our bit by making seed potatoes accessible to countries where there is a lot of hunger, such as Sudan, but also with this contribution to the World Food Programme as a symbol of our support”.
