Thanks, Gary. It's certainly worth amplifying this edition of Regenerative by Design on available channels. One could also put together a webpage with links to this and a selected set of podcasts and videos that seem to have the most potential value for one or more audiences. And then publicize that. Is anyone putting out a newsletter on proso? As part of my NAMA role, I personally try to cover the diverse millets as news comes up, and also using the rotating focus offered by the millet-of-the-month calendar. But one imagines a proso-specific monthly for North American growers and processors of that specific crop, could be a useful way of aggregating various agronomic, research, market, and end-use news about it. That might include items on current media and social media treatments of proso. My thought is that each millet offers different challenges and opportunities for publicity, even as we consider them as a group for strategic messaging. So a newsletter for proso in North America, for example, would be meant to meet a certain set of needs that might not be the same in the case of each other millet. Anyway, will leave it there for now. Don DO, EL, MI, US NAMA On Thu, Jul 18, 2024 at 12:28 AM Gary Wietgrefe via Collab < collab@lists.millets2023.space> wrote:
I just listened to the whole episode of Joni and Craig’s podcast discussing breeding, agronomics, market development, healthiness, and regenerative future of proso millet. I wished every North American farmer and processor would take 45 minutes for this proso education. They won’t. Some will. Opportunity awaits those who do….Gary

Here are a couple of podcasts from this past May that focus on one or more millets:
1) "Pioneering Water-Efficient Crops with Craig Anderson," Regenerative by Design, 30 May 2024 (43:50) https://share.transistor.fm/s/5dab04bf (Podcast host, Snacktivist founder, and NAMA co-founder Joni Kindwall-Moore interviewed Dryland Genetics COO Craig Anderson about his organization's research on improved varieties of proso millet as a crop. This is a very interesting and informative conversation that also considered various uses of proso - including, but not limited to food and feed - and what it will take to increase interest in and opportunities with it.) Regenerative by Design is Joni's podcast, and its homepage is at: https://www.regenbydesign.info/
2) "Modernising Millets and Embracing Traditional Foods," Future Fork, 6 May 2024 (23:54) https://omny.fm/shows/future-fork/anahita-dhondy (Chef's Manifesto founder and SDG2 Advocacy Hub CEO Paul Newnham interviewed Chef Anahita Dhondy, a noted chef, author, and food advocate in India. Chef Anahita was one of the featured chefs at the G20 meeting in New Delhi in Sept. 2023. The podcast begins with personal background, shifts to millets at ~4:00, and then her favorite millets to cook with - finger millet, sorghum, and foxtail millet - at ~14:00)
