\begin{abstract}
\normalsize{
The project AMARANTH:FUTURE-FOOD (www.amaranth"=future-food.net) is a joint research project financed by the European Commission in the Specific International Cooperation Activities (INCO) of the 6\textsuperscript{th} Framework Program. The project group consisted of 11 partners from Mexico, Nicaragua, Argentina, Czech Republic, Spain and Denmark. Amaranth is a protein"=rich and gluten"=free pseudo"=cereal grain that was the basic food in South America and Mexico thousands of years ago. 60--70 Amaranthus species are known. The overall objective of the project was to provide the tools for an extensive and sustainable exploitation of amaranth. The project initiated on September 1\textsuperscript{st}, 2006 and finalized on December 31\textsuperscript{st}, 2009.







A number of scientific and popular papers with results from the project were published and more are on their way. A 75 pages Publishable Final Activity Report that summarises our results will be available in www.amarant"=future-food.net in the near future. In this presentation selected results from our research into the industrial use of amaranth and the use of amaranth as food, feed and food additives will be presented together with our results from extensive cultivation trials on 18 different amaranth genotypes in five research sites with varying climate. Results from our studies on drought and insect resistance and weed compatibility of amaranth genotypes will also be presented and finally we will share our experience with the audience on our end"=user focus in two Nicaraguan women's agricultural cooperatives. The members of these cooperatives are all single mothers and manual laborers (22 women in the La Bolsa community and 20 in the La Tejana community). They implemented amaranth cultivation and developed amaranth food products adapted to traditional Nicaraguan taste.
