新红薯荣获2016世界粮食奖
A new sweet potato won the 2016 World Food Prize. The sweet potato has extra Vitamin A. This means it has more nutrition(营养). A researcher said farmers didn't want to help him grow the potato. He said, "They told me it was a bad idea." The farmers wanted more potatoes, not extra nutrition.
The sweet potato could stop people dying from malnutrition—not having enough to eat. A lack of Vitamin A is very harmful. Scientists say malnutrition harms 140 million children in 118 countries. It affects seven million pregnant(怀孕的) women and is a big reason for children becoming blind. The International Potato Center said the prize-winning sweet potatoes could help people get enough Vitamin A. It hopes there will be more vegetables with extra nutrition.
