A call has been made to the United Nations to establishment
of the International Year of Camels, reports NaijaAgroNet.
The President Bolivia, Evo Morales made this proposal during
a meeting with the Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organistion
(FAO), Graziano da Silva.
NaijaAgroNet also reports that the Bolivian President call
came on the heels of a similar call to the UN in 2013 for an International Year
of Quinoa.
The country, NaijaAgroNet gathered hopes this call will
galvanise spotlight on the contribution these hardy animals can make to
supporting farming and food security in other world regions, especially in
developing countries.
The two men also discussed conducting a joint study to
review the impacts of the International Year of Quinoa and facilitate more
widespread production and consumption of the highly nutritious, grain-like crop
sometimes called “Andean superfood.”
