Abstract
In recent years, pearl lupin (Lupinus mutabilis, also known as Andean lupin, Tarwi, tauri, or chocho) has gained increasing interest as an ideal high protein and oil crop in many agricultural areas around the world. Environmental safety, global food security, constant changes in human food requirements, and the transition toward plant-protein diets are among the major challenges that the future agricultural sector will have to address. Pearl lupin is among the neglected crops that have great nutritional potential and can be adapted to colder climates and low input agricultural practices. This book chapter identifies the potential uses and limitations of pearl lupin use as a protein crop worldwide. Pearl lupin global distribution, botany, nutritional significance, production technology, and tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses are discussed alongside to case studies of success stories, adaptation to local environments especially in the face of climate change.
