Global climate change and the aim of achieving food security have immensely increased pressure on agriculture worldwide. The development of new crop resources can mitigate this effect. Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) is a native species of the Andean region of South America. Its seed,stem,and leaf are highly nutritious. Moreover,it has strong adaptability to adverse environments,and a strong potential as a forage crop. In the present study,we reviewed the literature on Quinoa emphasising on its potential as forage,summarised how it adapts to arid,infertile,and saline environments,and its responses to temperature and light. Further,we proposed some future research directions on Quinoa for forage and feeding extension.
