The Fourth World Congress on Quinoa and the First International Symposium on Andean Grains are happening next week, 8-12 July 2013, in Quito, Ecuador. Our friends from Bioversity will be there in force. Not sure what the plans are for social networking during the proceedings, but if you’re going to be there, and would like to send us daily summaries, or thoughts on a point that grabbed your attention, or an occasional impression or observation, you’d be most welcome.
