The aim of the congress is making known the most important characteristics of Quinoa, one of the most ancient cereals, that have been cultivated for thousands years. FAO declared 2013 the International Year of Quinoa, because Quinoa can play an important role in eradicating hunger, malnutrition and poverty. Like the potato, quinoa was one of the main foods of the Andean peoples before the Incas. Today quinoa also has a key role in the gourmet kitchen, but its use has also been extended to the pharmaceutical and industrial areas.
