Agriculture, potato production included, has long sustained a growing global population. Yet nearly one third of all food produced is still lost or wasted, creating economic burdens for farmers, degrading natural resources, and leaving many communities food insecure. Regenerative agriculture offers an important step forward in the evolution of our food systems. Furthermore, by embedding the idea of circularity, closing loops, reducing waste, and maximizing resource efficiency, we can achieve the social, economic, and environmental outcomes our food systems urgently need. This webinar explores the historical arc of U.S. potato sustainability efforts and examines how circularity and regeneration, when combined into a single integrated approach, can drive a truly sustainable transformation of the potato sector. Participants will gain insight into the lessons learned, the gaps that remain, and the tools, models, and opportunities ahead for building a resilient potato system at scale.
