  abstract = {{R}eviewing the situation of quinoa production in southern {B}olivia, {J}acobsen (2011, {J}. {A}gron. {C}rop {S}ci. 197: 390) argues that the booming export market has a negative effect on the environment and on the home consumption of quinoa, thereby leading to an environmental disaster in the region. {I}n view of the scarcity of scientific knowledge on the rapid social and environmental dynamics in the region, we consider that {J}acobsens review misrepresents the situation of quinoa production in southern {B}olivia. {S}pecifically, we argue that (i) the data presented by {J}acobsen (2011, {J}. {A}gron. {C}rop {S}ci. 197: 390) do not support any drop in quinoa crop yield supposed to reflect soil degradation and (ii) his demonstration regarding home consumption of quinoa is ill-founded from both a nutritional and a cultural point of view. {W}e suggest that the diffusion of the arguments exposed by {J}acobsen (2011, {J}. {A}gron. {C}rop {S}ci. 197: 390), because of their flaws, might have strong negative impacts on those concerned with sustainable food production and fair-trade with developing countries. {W}e conclude that, rather than reinforced agro-technical controls on local farmers, the rising competition in the international quinoa market requires a shift towards an ethical economy and ethical research cooperation with quinoa producers.},
