Español: Nueva vida para los granos antiguos: mejoramento del sustento, la nutrición y los ingresos de las Comunidades Andinas. 

Andean grains such as amaranth, canihua and quinoa have traditionally been used by local communities in Bolivia and Peru because of their nutritional value and ability to thrive in the harsh conditions of the Andes. Cultivated over millennia, these crops are an integral part of the history, traditions and culture of Andean civilizations. Despite their significance, a number of factors, such as poor competitiveness in markets, lack of good planting material, laborious processing and a perception of traditional Andean grains as 'food for the poor,' have conspired against these crops causing them to fall into disuse. Since 2001, Bioversity and its partners-CIRNMA in Peru and Proinpa in Bolivia-have been working to address these and other constraints and to help communities make full use of their traditional crops to improve their livelihoods.
