To be fair, increased Quinoa farming has fucked natives in Peru as the prices went down with the greater western demand, but that is just simply capitalism.
As far as I remember it lead to people returning back to villages to farm quinoa, because it became more lucrative and poorer Peruvians not being able to afford quinoa which is their staple food and having to substitute it with other cheaper staples.
i think somebody tried getting them to take in the rockies and it failed horribly despite the climate being good. i fucking love quinoa if it was my primary protein i'd be fine with dumping meat products but shit is expensive

You're taking about quinoa, right? I thought the price went up, not down.
Yeah, fixed it. I saw something a while back that quinoa farmers hadn't benefited from the boom, but I might be misremembering.
