I hate markup and I'm on mobile so it's ugly.

Rising demand and prices for quinoa might have a net benefit for producers.

Especially women! Maybe. https://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/2016/jul/17/quinoa-threat-food-security-improving-peruvian-farmers-lives-superfood

It MIGHT however have a net bad effect on people's health, in part cuz they earn money and buy more processed western food.

https://www.motherjones.com/food/2013/01/quinoa-good-evil-or-just-really-complicated

It might also threaten food security for producers and others in the area, though, which some of the above links discuss.
As with everything, it's all about the means of production and the treatment of the workers.

Finally, while vegans are a part of increased quinoa production, calls for meat in its place isn't sustainable long-term either. (No link that's just how it be.)
