Eco Friendly Potatoes Created
For most people the humble potato would seem to be eco friendly, after all, it grows in the ground and if cooked from fresh there would not be any reason to think otherwise. However, apparently the potato is not an eco friendly as we first thought because of the resources it uses.
However, researchers from the Scottish Crop Research Institute in Dundee are claiming that they have developed an eco friendly or rather environmentally sound potato that requires less water and fertiliser to grow. The potato has been called the Vales Sovereign and has been called a farming milestone by the supermarket giant Tesco.
