FORMATHardcover LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description Quinoa is an ancient grain that has grown in popularity in recent years. It has been known as a good source of both protein and fiber. As the demand for quinoa increases a comprehensive and up-to-date reference on the biology and production of the crop is essential. Quinoa: Improvement and Sustainable Production brings together authors from around the world to provide a complete assessment of the current state of global quinoa research and production.  Topics covered include quinoa history and culture, genomics and breeding, agronomy, nutrition, marketing, and end-uses.  The book focuses in particular on the emerging role of quinoa in providing increased food security to smallholder farmers and communities throughout the world. Quinoa will interest quinoa researchers, producers, crop scientists, agronomists, and plant geneticists, as well as advanced students working with this important grain. Author Biography Dr. Kevin Murphy is a Plant Breeder and Assistant Professor at Washington State University focusing on quinoa, barley, and several other alternative grain crops. Dr. Murphy currently is the lead project director on a $1.6M, multistate and multidisciplinary NIFA-funded quinoa research project spanning much of the western United States.?Dr. Murphy actively collaborates and communicates with most of the leading quinoa researchers worldwide and leads a vibrant quinoa breeding program at Washington State University. He has published over 20 peer reviewed journal articles on plant breeding and agronomy, including three book chapters. Dr. Murphy is an Associate Editor with Agronomy Journal and has served as a guest editor of a special issue of the peer-reviewed journal Sustainability.? He is working with the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization Academic Impact Team as it prepares for the 2013 International Year of Quinoa.
