Potatoes are one of the foods most eaten in France. Mashed, soup, chips, fries... There are more than 4.500 different varieties in the world, and not less than 200 in France!
Some could believe that buried, they're safe from insecticides, fungicides, herbicides... Sadly, not! Those infiltrate the soil and end up on our plates!
Thankfully, natural solutions exist: select varieties best adapted to the soil and climate, alternate planting in the same field, and plant certain flowers or plants to push pests away.
