On 20 February ‘International Year of Quinoa 2013’ was launched， aiming to raise awareness of the nutritional， economic， environmental and cultural value of quinoa， which has been traditionally cultivated for thousands of years in the Andean Community.
Quinoa contains all the essential amino acids， trace elements and vitamins， but no gluten. The small crop is widely adaptable， thriving in temperatures ranging from -8 degrees Celsius to 38 degrees Celsius， at sea level or 4，000 meters above， and is not impacted by low moisture. This versatility makes quinoa a viable food option for areas with arid farming conditions and high malnutrition rates. It has potential to contribute to the fight against hunger and malnutrition. In 2011 the General Assembly adopted a resolution honouring quinoa with its own year.
