S3 Ep 12 - World Potato Congress
Manage episode 422571799 series 3240397
You’d be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn’t love a spud! Baked, mashed, jacket, wedge, or hash brown – they’re all good. In fact, 85% percent of us have potatoes in the home pantry. But perhaps more unexpectedly, the huge industry behind this vegetable warrants a World Potato Congress. And this year’s is happening in our own backyard in Adelaide on the 23rd-26th of June. The colourful ambassador for the event is Robbie Davis – and she’s never spent a single day as a potato farmer. The event is hosted by Potatoes Australia with significant support from the SA Government, Primary Industries and Regions SA and Business Events Adelaide. To learn more about this intriguing event, Robbie joins me to discuss:
- Robbie is not a potato grower but, she is a farmer and shares her favourite thing about being the ambassador for the World Potato Congress.
- So, what is the World Potato Congress, and why is it important?
- This year it’s Adelaide’s turn to host the World Potato Congress and the theme for this year.
- Robbie shares the hidden super powers of the potato.
- We hear how this journey of potatoes began for Robbie as she shares some experiences since joining the world of potatoes in 2012.
- What Robbie loves about taking on leadership roles in the industry.
- The passion Robbie has for the industry is evident and she shares some of her highlights from her time in agriculture.
- Are there any exciting new developments happening in the potato world?
- What Robbie loves most about working in ag.
- The most unexpected thing to happen in Robbie’s career since becoming the voice for potatoes.
- A common misconception about the humble potato.
- The ultimate dream for the future.
We hope to see you back on the road soon, to learn more about how Australia grows on the next episode of Australian Farmers with Angie Asimus.
