World Potato Congress 2022
The Changing World of the Potato, 30 May 2022 – 1 June 2022
The 11th World Potato Congress Ireland was held in Dublin from 30th May to the 2nd of June 2022 in the RDS Dublin with almost 1000 delegates in attendance. Delayed by one year, the congress was the first post-pandemic information and networking event for the global potato community. The event was hosted by the Irish Potato Federation in collaboration with World Potato Congress Inc. and with the strong support of Teagasc, DAFM, Bord Bia and numerous sponsors. The central theme was “The Changing World of the Potato” which – given recent world events – proved uncannily apt. The congress aimed to bring together delegates from the Business, Science and Development communities to discuss the future role of potato in global nutrition and food security.
Over the course of the event, 60 oral presentations, 120 poster presentations occurred and 59 commercial sponsors exhibited. Presentations given in the RDS concert hall during the event were recorded and are now available here for the global potato community. In addition, the abstracts of all presentations and posters are available here.
