Potatoes
Consumption of potato as an alternative staple for our country is really a good idea. You can find tons of statistics on its use in the western world as staple food.
The Americans are eating potatoes daily in many ways from breakfast to supper: as hash brown, fries, baked or mashed potatoes. The taste of these food items is good too.
We must find out a way to survive in the event of any crisis. Since the rice prices are high and beyond the capacity of buying for the most of the people, this should be the perfect time to change our food habit. The bumper production of potato can serve as the alternative source of carbohydrates. The less demand for rice will eventually help to lower the price of rice. In addition to that the potato farmers will get their fair price and will be motivated to cultivate more. A balancing act is necessary to encourage our farmers.
