Welcome to "Collab," an email list for collaboration ways to use International Year of Millets (2023) to organize promotion of millets in North America. Information sharing, networking, idea generation, and plan development are all considered on topic.
This list is intended for people with a range of professional and/or academic interests in millets as crops and/or food. The regional focus is North America, but subscription is open to anyone with a serious interest in these grains..
The focus on North America is intended to address the potential for growing various millets in the region, and for marketing millet products from North America and imported from abroad. Overall, this effort is intended to complement what is anticipated to be the major focus of the Year on regions where millets are already widely grown and consumed, often as staples. We all gain when there is wider appreciation of these diverse grains.
We are asking that each subscriber post a self-introduction, telling us about their interest in and work with millets, and which ones.
