Fwd: Notice of Cancellation: 2023 North American Sorghum and Millets Culinary Experience
by Don Osborn 23 Aug '23

23 Aug '23

Forwarding, with regrets, this news of the cancellation of the North American Sorghum and Millets Culinary Experience (was to be Sept. 25-26). Thanks to Nate Blum and Sorghum United for initiating this idea, and for all their efforts to make it work. The concept is a good one, as it targets a central issue in promoting these small but important grains: Why should we want to eat them (aside from their being "good for us")? How are they prepared, and in what forms are they eaten? In concurrence with Nate, we expect that there will be other efforts in North America to spotlight the culinary aspects of sorghum, proso millet, teff, and the amazing range of other millets, and look forward to communicating about those. Best to all, Don Don Osborn, PhD (East Lansing, MI, US) North American Millets Alliance - co-founder ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Sorghum United <sorghumunited(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, Aug 23, 2023 at 5:35 AM Subject: Notice of Cancellation: 2023 North American Sorghum and Millets Culinary Experience To: Sorghum United <sorghumunited(a)gmail.com> Greetings: We are writing with regret to inform you of the difficult decision to cancel the 2023 North American Sorghum and Millets Culinary Experience. This decision was carefully considered. However, based upon lukewarm response from potential presenters and attendees, we feel this is the prudent course of action. Throughout the International Year of Millets, events similar to the Culinary Experience have proven successful in other regions of the world. We are confident that such an event, given the resurgent interest in climate-smart and nutritious foods based in sorghum and millets, will one day experience similar success in Middle America. Thank you for being one of the trailblazers who recognize the importance of sorghum and millets as increasing parts of consumer diets. We hope this decision does not cause too great of a hardship and that the ample notice will be helpful as you amend your plans. All the best, -- *Nate Blum* Chief Executive Officer Sorghum United +1 402 802 1850 sorghumunited(a)gmail.com

Thank you again, Caroline and Tapas, for sharing your expertise and research on this topic!

There is a lot in this space, from the traditional to the higher tech, so we decided early on to treat millet beverages (alcoholic & non-alcoholic) in a webinar separate from the ones on cooking and on packaged (dry) products. More details forthcoming! 3) Here FYI are the 10th thru 12th Millets Webinars, all on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 5 pm Eastern time Oct. 18 - More than small change: Millets in community and economic development Nov. 15 - Not just for the birds: Millets and animal farming Dec. 20 - Innovations in millets: A food systems approach January, 2024 (tentative) - Retrospective on IYM and look forward for NAMA and millets in North America 4) We're seeking feedback on the series and the possibility of a "second season" in the same or modified format. This is not to commit NAMA or our partners at the University of Missouri to it yet, but there have been some inquiries on this matter. DO, EL, MI, US NAMA
