Quinoa Local

General introduction

The main objective of "QUINOA LOKAAL" (QUILO) is to make quinoa a profitable conventional and organic crop in Flanders. We want to achieve this while maintaining the "green image" of the crop; that is, without the use of pesiticides or herbicides. QUILO will enable the Flemish farmer to deliver a high-quality end product. We focus on aspects that guarantee and /or increase the profitability of the crop.

Research approach

The project is based on two major topics. The first is the creation of a learning network with participation of the target groups (f.e. through QUILOPEDIA). The second topic focuses on the generation of knowledge (cultivation, technical knowledge, profitability and quality analyses). Both topics support a profitable quinoa cultivation.
