Amaranth - A tale of two supply chains in Mexico
To profile amaranth production in Mexico, the authors selected two organizations that focus on the cultivation and promotion of amaranth as a tool for regional food sovereignty, resilience to climate change, and the creation of economic opportunities. The first, Quali, grows and manufactures value added amaranth food products for distribution across Mexico, as well as select markets in the US and Europe, while Puente a la Salud Comunitaria has developed a sophisticated locally-based supply chain designed to provide livelihoods and improved nutrition in farming communities across Oaxaca.
