The publication aims at shedding light on the use, nutritional properties, market potential and contribution to local livelihoods of Andean grains (quinoa, cañahua and amaranth).
This book addresses Andean grains and in particular quinoa, looking at their current use from several angles and highlighting the trade-offs involved in changing from traditional to commercial agricultural systems. The book offers many helpful suggestions for policy-makers, including recommendations for investments in sustainable production technologies and use of incentives for the use and maintenance of these very nutritious and resilient crops.
