Attached is a PDF copy of a new PPT presentation of the current version of the "millets triangle." (If you'd like the PPT version, please ask offlist - the file size of that is larger than the PDF.)
In 2022, I introduced the concept of conveying the diversity of millets in a single graphic that could be used to convey information about who grows which ones where and for what). I revised that millets triangle shortly afterwards. A previous version of this presentation introduced that second version of the triangle, and it received some helpful feedback.
I revised the millets triangle again earlier this year, but not until now have I revised the presentation (so this is presentation version 2, but displaying the third version of the triangle).
I hope the introduction to the millets triangle is clearer in this version. The examples in the last section before the conclusion (starting at slide 23) are new or have been reworked from the earlier effort. A key use that is anticipated for this diagram is being able to characterize uses of various millets in diverse contexts.
This is an ongoing project, with the object of bringing millets as a group into clearer view. The current version of the millets triangle may be revised, or perhaps give rise to another conceptual approach to bringing information about the diverse millets into a reusable graphic.
Your feedback and suggestions for improvement are requested.
