Decades ago, quinoa was considered an inferior food, however, recently the discovery of its nutritional properties has generated an increase in its consumption. Additionally, its great adaptability to climate change made Bolivia, with the support of other countries, to get the UN to declare 2013 as the International Year of Quinoa, which aimed to encourage the consumption of quinoa to replace food insecurity in areas poor of the world. In this sense, in the present investigation, the rural area of Junín was analyzed. However, the results were opposite to those expected: there was a shock in the prices of quinoa, causing those who do not produce to reduce their consumption and those who cultivate prefer to sell them before consuming it. On the other hand, to find the situational state of food security, its four dimensions were tested with data from the ENAHO 2016: availability, access, utilization and stability, the latter was tested with the probit model; It was found that there is food insecurity. The standard deviation showed that there is greater variation in the prices of local products compared to imported goods. Likewise, by means of the Tobit method, the price elasticities of the demand for food in the rural basic basket were obtained, showing as a result that there is greater elasticity of food inputs from other regions in contrast to the local ones. Finally, using the Tobit model, the consumption of quinoa was projected when its price changed, it was seen that producers increase their intake and those who buy reduce their acquisition; however, in the average calorie consumption of all foods of both groups, there is no significant difference.
