New Project: Quinoa-associated fungi in the Andes: diversity, conservation and sustainable Use

Working on a new partnership project ‘Quinoa-associated fungi in the Andes: diversity, conservation, and sustainable use’. 

Quinoa seeds are rich in protein, dietary fiber, B vitamins, amino acids, and dietary minerals in amounts greater than in many grains.





The spread of production of quinoa may involve farming into ecologically fragile ecosystems, threatening both the sustainability of producer agriculture and the biodiversity of quinoa. Working with several partners on this project aiming at healthier ecosystems, sustainable cultivation, and resilient communities. 

Stay tuned!
