Seminar & Screening | Potato: Hidden Treasure with Sandy Knapp and Jim Godfrey

2008 is the UN International Year of the Potato. To celebrate this remarkable tuber, two specialists come together for an invaluable discussion on the botany, history and role of the potato in helping to alleviate poverty, improve food security and promote economic development. Dr. Sandy Knapp is a botanist at the Natural History Museum and specializes in the Solanaceae (nightshade) family; and Jim Godfrey is Chairman of Centro Internacional de Papas in Lima.
The seminar will be preceded by a screening of the award-winning short Sawasiray-Pitusiray directed by Mariana Herrera, and followed by Peruvian potato feast.
