In this photo print, a mesmerizing array of Andean Quinoa grains are showcased in a Quinoa museum located at high altitudes. The photograph was taken during an insightful visit by journalists and officials from the Bolivian government to promote the International Year of Quinoa in Llica, Potosi province on April 10,2013. This vivid display serves as a testament to the cultural significance and agricultural prowess of Andean communities. United Nations representatives and leaders from various Andean countries initiated the International Year of Quinoa in February to shed light on its immense nutritional, ecological, and economic benefits.
