Is quinoa-farming sustainable in marginal environments? Social, economical and environmental aspects.
Review in Journal of the science of food and agriculture, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an Andean grain crop introduced as a novel crop to many parts of the world in recent years. Recognized for nutritious seeds and high abiotic stress tolerance, it has been promoted as an element of climate-resilient agriculture, particularly in marginal environments. Successfully introducing new crops to sustainably increase and diversify agricultural production in such settings depends on environmental, economic and social factors of the agricultural context. This review critically assesses the potential and challenges of introducing quinoa as an alternative crop, focusing on marginal lands in Central Asia. We highlight quinoas broad genetic base to abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity and temperature extremes and discuss how it can be leveraged by breeding for marginal environments. Environmental effects, economic aspects and initial experiences with quinoa cultivation in Central Asia are discussed. Furthermore, we discuss broader socioeconomic implications, including land tenure and migration in marginal regions. We conclude that quinoa holds potential for improving sustainable agriculture in marginal environments, when integrated policies and long-term support enable its benefits for sustainable agricultural development. © 2026 The Author(s).
