Greetings, Just a quick update. First, the membership in this list is slowly growing. If you have not introduced yourself and your interest in or work on millets yet, you are welcome to do so. I personally have some messages in preparation that I hope to post to the list soon. Among them, one has to do with lessons from the International Year of Pulses (2016) for our work on the International Year of Millets. There has been some attention to the interesting record of the International Year of Quinoa (2013). One of the similarities of IYP & IYM, however, is that each deal with a variety of crops Another item on the way is about research on imports of millets and millet products for consumer markets in North America. There is a larger topic of import & export of millets, and this is a subset of that. Several millets are imported as food that are not grown for food-quality grain in this region, and that is likely to remain the case for a while until such time as markets for them increase. But my impression is that not much has been published on this. Finally, you may note that I'm writing from a new email address. This is using the new domain name for the North American Millets Alliance. More on that to come. The current millets2023.space domain will persist, and for interests of continuity, this list will remain on it.
