Hybrid potatoes require fewer resources and are more resistant to pests and diseases. This way, we can promote more sustainable and resilient land use practices that can protect soil health and promote biodiversity. Sustainable potato production practices can help to reduce the need for agricultural chemicals and can have a positive impact on pollinators and other wildlife.
